In order to assess the problem or the cause of the failure, we require photos to be emailed to us: please send us a picture of the tree overall (including the soil) and a close-up of the problem. If your tree starts to show signs of failure, for example if the leaves unexpectedly go brown, please contact us as early as possible and we can advise you on a course of action which could prevent eventual failure of the tree. If we believe that your tree has failed due to an innate problem with the tree then we will replace it if it has failed within the 2 year period. Please note that the trees will not be covered under the guarantee if they have been neglected in some way, i.e by a lack of watering or by being planted in unsuitable conditions. Whilst we do thoroughly inspect all of our trees before dispatch, we do understand that sometimes trees can fail through no fault of your own. Here at Mail Order Trees, we want our customers to buy with confidence, which is why we offer a 2 year guarantee on all of our trees. Special features: Beetroot-red leaves turning red, brown and orange in autumn Latin Name: Acer platanoides 'Crimson King'įlowering period/colour: April to May/Yellow In terms of a planting partner, we would recommend the Acer 'Princeton Gold': the glowing golden leaves of the ‘Princeton Gold’ contrast beautifully with the rich leaves of the ‘Crimson King’. The bold leaf colour and large leaf size makes the ‘Crimson King’ a fantastic screen, too. It’s a hardy and tolerant tree and it will do well in a range of sites, including costal and urban. When mature, this will be a broad-headed and rounded garden tree, which looks great as an ornamental specimen. This is the perfect ornamental tree for a medium-large sized garden and, as it’s a fairly fast grower, it will soon become established in your garden.

The leaves hold their striking colour through spring and summer, before putting on a final show in autumn when they turn to crisp shades of red, orange and brown. They are complimented by lemon yellow spring flowers, which look lovely against the bold colour of the leaves. The leaves are large in size and crimson-purple in colour: they have five lobes and they curl in slightly at their edges. If you want a tree that will add a real splash of colour to your garden, the deservedly popular Acer Crimson King is for you. This is a fast-growing tree that is suitable for most soils, including clay. The Acer Crimson King boasts deep red-purple, star-shaped leaves that have a great autumn colour.
