View prices and availability
‘Garnet’ is probably the most used cultivar of the “Dissectum” group. The plant grows rather more vertically than other cultivars in this group. Eventually, ‘Garnet’ acquires a virtually round habit. If grafted onto a stem, the branches will hang gracefully. The deep, wine-red colour of the leaves is retained all summer, becoming even redder in autumn. The leaf is relatively large, sometimes more than 10 cm on young twigs, and the leaf segments are less deeply dissected than on other “Dissectum” cultivars. This endows ‘Garnet’ with a rather less delicate appearance, but it is a strong and vigorously growing cultivar.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
