Pink Acer tree recommendations

I have my heart set on purchasing a pink Acer tree, does anyone have any recommendations, ideally foliage that remains pink/red in the summer rather than changing to green?

Pink Passion is probably your best bet. It starts out variegated cream & green with pink edging, then it becomes suffused pink & darkens to a pinkish-reddish-purple in summer. I think most of the others such as Taylor turn green in summer. Buy the biggest you can afford as they're so slow-growing!

That sounds perfect, thank you @EleanorMc67

There is a big specimen on Gardening Express right now for £199.99, if you're willing to splash out for instant impact!! Quite a new variety so not a huge amount of suppliers & they're mostly smaller ones. Larch Cottage Nurseries up Cumbria way also has some big ones in 10 litre pots for £125, & does mail order (it's a fab quirky nursery!!).

Planning to go for a browse at the garden centre tomorrow, if no luck I'll take a look at the ones online :)
