| Content | | | Acer palmatum is well known for it’s beautiful array of colours throughout the year, with it’s green foliage turning into a stunning crimson red in the Autumn before falling. Through the Winter it makes up for it’s lack in foliage with it’s greyish-purple bark that stands out.
It has a good tolerance to most soil types and conditions once established. Although it prefers a cooler position making it frost tolerant with moist, well-drained soils. It doesn’t do as well in a area of strong winds and hot sun. | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
