Description

Acer pseudoplatanus 'Prinz Handjery' is a fantastic small Sycamore that provides changing interest throughout the seasons and is suitable for even the smallest gardens. It is quite similar to the very popular Brilliantisimum, but Prinz Handjery is a little more compact with a nice lollipop shaped head and slightly longer lasting pink foliage.

The new foliage emerges shrimp pink in spring, turning yellow-green tinted with purple underneath in summer. Long yellow flowers follow in late spring to summer and winged red fruits appear in autumn. This dwarf Sycamore grows well in full sun or partial shade and grows to no more than 3 x 3m in height.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
