Variegated Hedge Maple Tree

Acer campestre 'Carnival' is a slow-growing, deciduous dwarf tree celebrated for its spectacular variegated foliage. In spring, small leaves emerge with a soft pink blush, maturing into a striking display of creamy-white margins surrounding light green centers. This compact, rounded tree typically reaches 10 to 15 feet in height and width, making it an ideal specimen for small gardens. It thrives in well-drained soil and adapts to various light conditions from full sun to full shade, though afternoon protection is often beneficial to prevent leaf scorch. Its dense, twiggy habit and vibrant autumn yellow tones provide excellent year-round interest.
