I did have 6! One seems to be lost up on the.bund hill..it was a small one though. Everything else has put on leaf growth and gone crazy.
So, I’m pleased the remaining 5 are finally looking nice this late Spring.
No’s 2 & 4 are in the front garden.

They look more than nice Kate, they are beautiful, do you know the name of the third one please ? I have this one but it was gifted to me with no name.

they are stunning trees aren't they. I cant get mine to thrive. I have tried for many years but no luck.

Pretty collection, Kate. They do well for you. Is the third one a palmatum dissectum?

Wow, you must be so proud of them Kate. No.3 is my favourite!

All beautiful Kate. They look quite mature.

I always thought that Kate's JM in 3rd pics is Viridis because she called it Acer palmatum 'Dissectum'.... it was formerly called that name.

Viridis and Waterfall are looking very similar during the normal leafing season but fall colors on Viridis tend to be more Orange and Waterfall tend to be more Gold.
The word dissectum just means laceleaf. (red or green)

I do have Waterfall.
