Origin
The Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' is an exclusive cultivar from the Acer shade tree family, originally from Asia. This tree is often cultivated in China and is valued for its spectacular appearance and annual flowers.

Characteristics
The Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' is characterised by its deep pink to red flamed leaves, which form a striking contrast with its pale, silver-grey bark. The tree usually grows to a height of 10 to 20 meters and flowers in the spring with small white flowers. The 'Red Flamingo' is a deciduous variety, which means that it loses its leaves each year and sprouts again in the spring.

Care
The Acer conspicuum 'Red Flamingo' requires moderately moist, well-drained soil and a sunny to semi-shaded spot to grow and bloom optimally. It's important to note that this tree underperforms in dry or moist soils. It is recommended to prune the tree regularly to promote balanced shape and healthy growth.
