japanese maple (acer orange dream)

Worth the price, it is beautiful!!

its rather windy so hope its ok in the barrel where i have it michaella,, got some yellow mimulus to plant around it to ;o)

They do tend to be pricey but so worth it - the mimulus will look well around it - I am so loving the barrel too

Looks beautiful and the planting sounds like it will look great.

angie you may remember the barrel as water feature but now i have pond i didnt need this, so thats why i changed it into planter ;o)
cheers GT glad you like it to ;o))

I remember - didn't you have a froggy on it

a few froggys lol and fountain

Great use of the barrel San , the Maple will look gorgeous in that , the orange colour is a nice change , will the leaves darken as it ages do you think ?

thanx amy, the leaves have orange in new growth then go golden as season goes on, so should be lovely, needs some protection in winter if in pot it says, so will wrap it up over winter ;o)

I love the colour San . yes extra protection all round this winter I think !

yes your right amy, will be protecting a few plant i wouldnt normally just to be on the safe side ;o)

This one is beautiful, you will love it......

thanx dotty ;o))

What a lovely colour, Sanbaz, and it will look great in that barrel.

thanx Gee, all planted up now and love it ;o))

Agree with everyone just beautiful.

thankyou carol ;o))

Thats stunning Sandra and like the idea of Yellow mimulus planted around it!

thanx carol, i just thought the bright yellow minulus would set off the acer well ;o))

Oh..thats beautiful San

cheers deida ;o))

Come on San, spill the beans, How much was it??? eh.

Just trying to lay on the guilt, well we have to treat ourselves sometimes...looks great with a lovely form

£20, well less 1p hahah steve but i could have got another acer which was £26 but didnt , glad you like it

This will do well in the tub Sanbaz. I have four in tubs, all different and I paid about the same for one of mine, at a nursery. I paid under four pounds for another at WIlkinson's and under £10 for another at Focus. Just shows you how the prices vary although the WIlkinsons one was small it's very healthy and is a pulmatum, the dark red leaved one.

cheers linda i have a dark red one to and had its a good few years, repotted it last year because it started to look very sad but fine now ;o)
