Japanese Acer.

To my mind these are the prettiest of all shrubs with their marvellous colours.

Re: Japanese Acer.

I love them, I used to have one at my old home. A Week after I'd moved out I went back for a few of the Plants I didn't want to lose.....Only to find some Begger had been there before me and helped themselves Including my Acer that was really old and very very Bushy.

Re: Japanese Acer.

Aces are lovely with their striking colouring . My neighbour has two or three in big pots which her husband grew from cuttings.

Re: Japanese Acer.

We also had one on the front lawn of our house in UK, a miniature one, it is still there all these years later.

Re: Japanese Acer.

Lovely trees these maples, we have two in very large pots on our pergola.
When the sun catches them from behind they are quite dramatic, almost glowing.

Re: Japanese Acer.

I've been to the garden centre this afternoon and bought one to put in the centre of my front lawn.
