A superb tree for those who like purple foliage.

Acer palmatum Bloodgood (Japanese Maple)

ellen — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:22:01 +0100

A superb Japanese maple with long lasting and unfading reddish purple leaves that turn a glorious red before they drop in autumn.

Acer palmatum Dissectum Garnet (Japanese Maple)

ellen — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:26:13 +0100

A lovely cut leaf deep purple Japanese maple that was raised in Holland around 1950 and won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.

Acer palmatum Fireglow (Japanese Maple)

ellen — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:50:47 +0100

Developed around 1977, this is thought to be an improved clone of the superb ‘Bloodgood’. In truth there is little to choose between them so try not to agonise over the choice!

Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) 'Deborah'

This Norway maple cultivar looks good from early spring to its final burst of autumn colour.

Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) 'Royal Red'

admin — Tue, 23 May 2006 11:41:02 +0100

One of the most beautiful of all Norway maple cultivars!

Cercis canadensis "Forest Pansy"

ellen — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:01:34 +0100

This species of Cercis has thinner, brighter leaves than Cercis silaquastrum.

Corylus avellana Zellernus (Red Filbert)

ellen — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:51:49 +0100

Also known as the Red Filbert, this is a great improvement on Corylus maxima Purpurea.

Fagus sylvatica 'Roseomarginata'

ellen — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 11:51:23 +0100

One of the smallest beeches, and one which does best in a sunny, rather than a sheltered position.

Prunus (Flowering Cherry) 'Royal Burgundy'

admin — Wed, 31 May 2006 16:28:52 +0100

This Flowering Cherry is rather like a purple-leaved of Kanzan.
