If you’re looking to buy an Acer tree, you’ll find that they are a welcome addition to any garden, known for their attractive outlines and stunning autumn colors. Acer trees, a genus of deciduous trees, are primarily grown for their vibrant foliage, which transforms into brilliant shades in the autumn. Some maples, which are a type of acer, also feature beautiful ornamental bark, adding extra appeal. While acers are loved for their colorful leaves, they typically have small, insignificant flowers that are followed by distinctive 2-winged fruit.

When searching for Acer trees it’s important to consider their growing conditions. Acers thrive in sun or semi-shade and prefer fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Many acers show their best autumn colors on neutral to acidic soil, although they will grow well in most well-drained conditions.
