Acer × conspicuum ‘Red Flamingo’ is a truly exceptional snake bark maple that offers a spectacular display throughout the seasons. This deciduous tree is a horticultural gem, combining vivid foliage with eye-catching bark. In spring, the leaves emerge in a soft pink hue, creating a delicate, blushing canopy. As summer progresses, the foliage matures to a fresh green with striking pink margins, providing a lively contrast.
Autumn brings another transformation as the leaves turn a warm golden colour, adding a final flourish before falling. However, the tree’s beauty doesn’t end with leaf fall. The ‘Red Flamingo’ truly comes into its own in winter, when its distinctive coral-red bark takes centre stage, creating a stunning focal point in the bare winter landscape. This medium-sized tree is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add year-round interest and a touch of exotic elegance to their outdoor spaces.
