Discover Acer palmatum 'Taylor' – A Rare Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Taylor' is a sought-after, limited edition Japanese Maple from the iconic Acer family, prized for its extraordinary, ever-changing foliage. Each spring, its delicate palmate leaves emerge with a striking salmon-pink flare. Through summer, these leaves mellow into a fresh green, rimmed with creamy-white, before shifting to a vibrant lime-green for autumn's grand finale.
