It's important to consider the background when planting Japanese maples. A uniform backcloth of a dark fence or evergreen hedge will show off the summer and autumn leaf colour to perfection and is essential in winter to appreciate bright stems.

With their graceful low branches, these shrubs are ideal for positioning at the edge of the pool where they can cast a little shade for Koi and other fish, and create a reflection on the still water.
