my new little acer is currently in the conservatory ~ in case of frost!
could you keep them indoors?
maybe bonsai?

yes they would ~ you are right ~ do they need much sun?

I think full sun is recommended, i have a couple on my west facing border which is shady in the morning.

lots of shade here ~ the house is nearly surrounded by very tall trees which dont belong to us ~ the south side is where we join onto the other house!!! ~ which is a bit of a shame.
