Acer platanoides

I have this one in my back garden. The leaves really are beautiful and it never fails to get commented on when someone comes into the garden.

The leafs are Beautiful :)

I love the colour and shape of the leaves and the way they dance in a gentle breeze. My Mum gave me a two year old tree for my birthday two years ago. I planted it so that I can see it from the kitchen and lounge windows, it has doubled in height since then.

I've only seen a few of these here in the land of the Maple Leaf. lovely tree. another must have.

I am a huge fan of variegated leaves and these are so pretty!

Beautiful, bright and fast growing too! Four more years and the trunk should be about 2 inches thick. I have one that illuminates a dark corner in summer. Love it!

Great news Muddywellies, I hope this one is fast growing too. Our light sandy soil does tend to slow things up a bit here.
