Acer 'Elsrijk' is an upright tree which grows to have a conical to broadly ovate crown. The leaves are of the typical Acer shape, and shoot through pale green with deep red margins; the leaves mature to a healthy mid-green colour by late spring. Like most Acer trees, this tree is at its best in autumn when the leaves turn to glowing shades of yellow and orange before falling. This is an excellent choice for a landscape tree as its attractive shape will add structure to the back of a border.
