Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods. If you find that your plant or pot has arrived in a less than satisfactory condition, please reach out to us at hello@plantsforallseasons.co.uk within a month of your delivery date. When contacting us, please provide your order reference, alongside a photo clearly showing the damaged item and its packaging, including the delivery label. We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate. It's also worth noting that the plant you receive may slightly differ from the images displayed on our website. This variation is natural, given that each plant is unique and subject to seasonal growth changes.

Acer japonicum ‘Vitifolium’ is one of the most spectacular of the full moon maples, prized for its large, grapevine-like leaves and outstanding autumn colours. The name ‘Vitifolium’ means “vine-leaved”, referring to the broad, lobed foliage that resembles that of a grapevine (Vitis).
This elegant Japanese maple is valued for its graceful shape and exceptional seasonal display, making it a choice specimen tree in gardens.
Foliage: Remarkably large leaves (up to 15 cm across) are broadly lobed and slightly serrated, giving them a bold texture. They emerge soft green in spring, deepen to fresh green through summer, and then transform into a spectacular blend of scarlet, orange and golden yellow in autumn, often with multiple colours on a single leaf.
Flowers: In spring, before or with the emerging leaves, small, hanging clusters of reddish-purple flowers appear, adding subtle charm.
Habit: Develops into a broad, rounded small tree or large shrub, typically growing to 3–5 metres high with a similar spread, creating an open, layered canopy.
Bark: Smooth grey bark provides gentle winter structure.
Because of its large, dramatic leaves and brilliant autumn display, ‘Vitifolium’ is an exceptional choice for planting as a specimen tree where it can be fully admired.
Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight, especially in areas with hot summers.
Some morning sun is ideal to enhance autumn colour, but protect from strong afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch.
Plant in a sheltered position, out of strong winds which can tear the large leaves and cause browning.
Likes soil to be consistently moist but well-drained.
Water deeply in dry periods, particularly when young or if grown in containers.
Mulch each spring with compost or fine bark to conserve moisture and keep shallow roots cool.
Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, humus-rich soil.
Avoid very alkaline or heavy clay soils. If necessary, plant in raised beds or containers using ericaceous compost mixed with grit for drainage.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or a specialist acer feed.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers which promote lush growth prone to wind and frost damage.
Requires minimal pruning.
Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter while dormant.
Avoid hard pruning, which disrupts its graceful natural shape.
Generally very healthy and trouble-free.
May occasionally suffer aphids on new shoots.
Leaf scorch (browned edges) usually results from drought, wind or intense sun, rather than disease.
Suitable for large pots, making it ideal for patios or smaller gardens.
Use ericaceous compost with added grit, ensure good drainage by raising pots on feet, and water consistently.
In harsh winters, protect roots by wrapping the pot or moving to a sheltered location.
