Acers around the Garden

Beautiful trees Bjs. You are so lucky to have a garden to accommodate those beautiful specimens

Such beautiful varities you have and colours gorgeous never seen the Brilliantismum before stunning color.

They are beautiful Bjs.
I've never seen an Acer in flower before, wonderful. Do you know how old it was before it started to flower? It looks so healthy, I didnt realise they lived so long. Love the branches.

I have 6 Acer platanoides 'Drummondii' along my drive and I often wish I'd gone for A brilliantissium instead.

I bought a red stemmed acer a couple of weeks ago, could be the same as yours, its Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku, I'm looking forward to it looking like yours one day :-)

What a brilliant show of Acers. Wow, I am impressed. I have babies each year as well and love to grow them to a good size & give them to friends who would love them as well. Gorgeous really nice show. Thx.

love them ................. only have one at mo as soooooooo expensive , do they flower then !!! i beleave sycomores are part of the maple family , and have plenty of thse in the garden , as my cottage is nameed after them .............. i have never noticed seedlings , ermmm have to look closer .

Wow, wow, wow! I loved seeing these. I especially love seeing the flowers on them. Beautiful, thank you! :))

the sycomore trees have these flowers but i dident nn acers did too

these are fantastic, what a beautiful garden you must have.

I like the Acer Plantoides Drummondii with its Variegated leaves, I am not sure what sort of autumn show they make,I know they grow larger than any Brilliantissimum i have seen, mine is about 16ft high and around 25 years old, the draw back with them is that inside four weeks the leaves fade to a rather dull green and make no autumn colour at all.To me they are a four week wonder.Personally i would not use them as a specimen tree if one only has room for one or two trees in the garden.
As for seed some do, others i have never seen seed on,in the close up of Brilliantissmum flowers can be seen hanging down ,but never seen any seed.

Fabulous photo's, I especially like the red stemmed one.

By the way Brian, Alf says thank you very much for that light green grass you gave me, he enjoyed it immensely.:0))

Superb Bjs you must be so proud of them...am very envious !

Acer Brilliantissimum, Acer Brilliantissimum, Acer Brilliantissimum, Acer Brilliantissimum, Acer Brilliantissimum, Acer Brilliantissimum - cut and paste, Bjs - simples. ....or grow ones with easier names, LOL

They really glow, don't they?

Hi Brian, my Acer drummondii stay the same from now until autumn, so that's a bonus. We've had them about 10 years and are about 16 feet but still compact, if you know what I mean. Going to post a pic in a minute :-)

Waqgger know what you mean, don't think to do it when concentrating on making the blog flow.me brain gets a bit addled at times

Val, yes they must taste nice Jamie eats them as well.

Wonderful show. I bought my very first Acer this week. It jumped in to my trolley in Morrisons. If I get a show like yours I will be delighted. Thank you for sharing with us.

had a look round a clients garden today ................ and her red acer has flowered and is covered in tiny sycomore seeds , its stuning ....................

very nice collection

WOW !! stunning trees, terrific show.

Bjs...what a lovely show of colour and so well kept

Fabulous garden. so much beauty - makes me feel very inadequate! Wonderful to see the acer flowers - had no idea they did that!
