Japanese Maple height and spreads

boippiu

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise on mature height and spread on these varieties of Jap maple acer. I've searched online but different sites give very different sizes on the same tree, some describing mature height as 5ft while others describe mature heights of 25ft for the same variety and lots are inbetween the two suggesting 12ft / 20ft etc. I was also wondering if any 2 or 3 in particular were more hardy than the others.

Those varieties are listed for sale in lidl at a resonable price. Check they are not rootbound by knocking the pot off. They can take a long time to grow to maturity.

Plant details listed below found on the RHS website should be ok, most of the plants listed there but some with no details so went to suppliers listed on RHS website to find further details which I think can be trusted.
