No. 8 – Acer
Renowned for its spectacular autumn colours, the Acer (maple) is a design favourite for good reason. From vibrant crimsons to rich ambers and golds, no other tree offers such a natural firework display as the seasons turn.
Acer trees hold cultural significance across the world. In Japan, the tradition of “momijigari”, viewing autumn leaves is as celebrated as cherry blossom in spring. In Canada, of course, the maple leaf is a national symbol of pride and endurance.
Natural Green clients love Acers for their seasonal drama and versatility. They suit everything from refined courtyard gardens to dramatic event entrances. Their elegant branching structure also works well under lighting, making them a favourite for evening events where uplighting can highlight their sculptural form.
Whether real or faux, an Acer brings a strong sense of seasonality and visual richness to a design. They remind us of nature’s cycles: change, beauty and renewal making them particularly powerful in spaces where storytelling and atmosphere are key.
