Acer

lovely to see the leaves start to unfold, mine is still at the bud stage!

Love these, but I lost mine some years ago, as too exposed and windy. No-where seemed to be sheltered enough.

aww shame PG ;-(

I chopped my acer down today. It grew 7 feet since I planted it in the ground, and it was in the way of my greenhouse I hope to put up soon. I've kept some cuttings. I bought it very small in Woolworth meny years ago lol

are you going to pot on the cuttins Hywel

I've stuck them in the ground in the hope one of them catches.

Mine has been in the greenhouse , I have lost two in past winters so wasn't taking the risk this year ....

I love them but have lost two now so guess it is not suitable here :o(
Yours looks good Eileen

looking good eileen - funny though the one I have in a pot never made it through the winter even though it was in the shed and the one planted out is thriving - you can't win

pure luck sometimes isnt it, although this one is in a pot its been out in the snow and rain all winter
