Originally selected in New Zealand’s Esk Valley, this stunning ornamental maple is prized for its bold foliage coloration and striking purple-red leaf undersides that create breathtaking contrast throughout the growing season. In spring, large showy leaves emerge splashed with green and pink tones before maturing into creamy white variegation by midsummer. As the canopy develops, flashes of rich purple-red beneath the leaves create a spectacular visual effect unlike almost any other maple. Autumn finishes the display with glowing golden-yellow and orange foliage. Moderate growing and highly ornamental, Esk Sunset makes an unforgettable specimen tree for collector gardens, focal plantings, patios, and ornamental landscapes. These young trees currently have good height with minimal branching but will establish and develop quickly once planted. You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003e⚠️ Shipping Restriction:\u003cbr data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eDue to agricultural regulations, this variety cannot be shipped to New York, Connecticut, or Massachusetts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003e✔️ 1 live Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Esk Sunset’ tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003e✔️ Height: approximately 30–40 inches tall\u003cbr data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003e✔️ Originally grown in #3 container\u003cbr data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1597\"\u003e✔️ Shipped wrapped for moisture retention\u003cbr data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003e✔️ Does not ship with container\u003cbr data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003e✔️ Healthy, rooted ornamental maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"2434\"\u003e🌼 Growing Information\u003cbr data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003eCommon Name: Esk Sunset Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1817\"\u003eBotanical Name: Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Esk Sunset’\u003cbr data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous ornamental tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1910\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Young established tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1950\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003eSoil: Rich, moist, well-draining soil\u003cbr data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003eWatering: Moderate; maintain even moisture during establishment\u003cbr data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eMature Height: Approximately 12–15 feet in 20 years\u003cbr data-start=\"2156\" data-end=\"2160\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"2181\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 5–8\u003cbr data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eSpring Foliage: Green and pink variegation\u003cbr data-start=\"2246\" data-end=\"2250\"\u003eSummer Foliage: Creamy white variegation with purple-red undersides\u003cbr data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2321\"\u003eFall Color: Golden yellow to orange\u003cbr data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2360\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Yes, while young and excellent for collector gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2438\" data-end=\"2649\"\u003e💡 Care Tip: In warmer southern climates, provide protection from harsh afternoon sun to preserve the vibrant variegation and prevent leaf scorch.
