Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' is a narrow, dense-foliaged, upright grower that is an excellent choice for adding height in a small or narrow space. It has small, bright-red spring leaves that transition to a deep burgundy color throughout the summer months and then turn scarlet in the autumn, creating a stunning display of color. Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' prefers soils that are moist and well-drained, but it may experience leaf scorch if exposed to excessive sun, wind, or drought. It is cold-hardy and can be grown as a bonsai, making it a versatile and attractive option for any garden design. Acer palmatum is deciduous and native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. Learn more about Acer palmatum. Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' was discovered as a witches' broom mutation on Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' by Edward 'Skeeter' Rodd of Raraflora Nursery in Pennsylvania, United States.

Freighting: Leafland Limited has a great network of freighting companies who deliver trees New Zealand wide. Remote/rural addresses usually incur a surcharge, but this is set at the trucking company's discretion. Delivery times and freight charges are subject to change without notice. Trees will be delivered in a large curtain-side truck approximately 4.2m high x 9m long. Truck drivers will deliver trees within 5m of access, where access is determined at the driver's discretion. Drivers are not responsible for moving trees around a customer's property. Customers are responsible for organising unloading to and transporting around their property of large and/or bulky trees as required.

Claims and Replacements: All trees are dispatched uninsured and at the buyer's risk. Claims for damages must be made within a week of receiving the trees. Once Leafland Limited has verified the claim, we will seek to replace or refund the damaged trees. After a week of receiving the trees, Leafland Limited will not be liable for any damage or death that occurs to the trees.

Returns: Once an order is completed and dispatched, if a customer then changes their mind, the trees must be returned to Leafland Limited, and the customer will pay the cost of transport in both directions. Refunds for the trees will only be paid once Leafland Limited have received the trees and verified they are in good condition. A return to stock charge may be added at Leafland Limited's discretion.

If the trees are not collected by the agreed date, Leafland Limited reserves the right to charge a holding fee at our discretion.
