Acer Palmatum 'Jerre Schwartz'
Japanese Maple 'Jerre Schwartz'
Acer palmatum are smallish deciduous trees with deeply-lobed leaves which turn red, orange and yellow in autumn. The flowers are red in spring. They have a compact tidy habit that negates the need for heavy pruning. They reach maturity in 10 to 20 years. 'Jerre Schwartz' is a compact variety with leaves that emerge pinkish green, turning a darker bronze colour before becoming green. In Autumn the colour changes again, to bright red before the leaves fall.

Flowering
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Most acers and maples have somewhat insignificant flowers. The flowers can be green, yellow, orange or red, and usually appear in early Spring, and are an early source of nectar and pollen for bees.
Planting
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Smaller varieties can be grown in pots and containers. The best time for planting is late Winter / early Spring, before the leaves appear
Propagating by grafting
From Early Summer TO Mid Summer
Some acers or maples are best propagated by grafting. This certainly applies to 'Shirasawanum' varieties.
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Spring TO Mid Summer
Propagation methods vary according to the variety. Most varieties are propagated by means of softwood cuttings.
