Unveiling the Beauty of Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo':

• Description: Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' is a deciduous tree renowned for its breathtaking foliage. The young leaves emerge in spring with vibrant pink and white variegation, gradually maturing to a striking combination of green and white with hints of pink. Come autumn, the foliage transitions to shades of orange and red, providing a dazzling display of seasonal color.
• Height: Typically reaches a height of 15-20 feet at maturity.
• Spread: Exhibits a spreading habit, with a width of 10-15 feet.

Maintenance and Care:

• Planting: Select a location with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant your Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' tree in early spring or fall, ensuring proper spacing to accommodate its mature size.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, particularly during dry spells, to establish healthy root growth. Once established, 'Red Flamingo' trees are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote vigorous growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may encourage excessive green growth at the expense of variegation.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning is necessary for Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo'. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a well-balanced canopy and enhance the tree's overall appearance. Prune sparingly to preserve the natural form and variegated foliage.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and insulate the roots against temperature fluctuations.

• Year-Round Interest: Enjoy a spectacle of color throughout the seasons, from the vibrant spring foliage to the fiery hues of autumn.
• Architectural Appeal: 'Red Flamingo' trees add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any landscape, serving as focal points or specimen plantings.
