Pixie is a stunning dwarf Japanese maple renowned for producing some of the deepest wine-red foliage of all palmatums. Throughout spring and summer, the finely cut leaves hold their intense burgundy tone exceptionally well — even in full sun — creating a rich, dramatic focal point in the garden. As autumn arrives, Pixie transforms into a brilliant fire-engine red, delivering a spectacular seasonal display that lights up courtyards, patios, and landscape borders. Adding further interest, this cultivar is known for its distinctive dark red to almost black bark, which enhances its overall depth of colour, particularly in winter when the structure of the tree is revealed. With an upright growth habit and attractive lateral branching, Pixie is ideal for smaller gardens, courtyard settings, or feature containers. Perfect for pots, entryways, or as a striking accent tree, Pixie delivers bold colour and elegance without demanding large garden space — a must-have for adding year-round visual impact to limited areas. Soil: Deep, rich, well-drained soil. Conditions: Prefers a sheltered site in dappled sun or morning sun with protection from hot winds. Frost tolerant. Size: Height 1.8-2.5m x width 2m
