My First Acers....The Art of Placement

Either looks lovely...i have mine in containers so i can move them around. :) Wherever they go i'm sure they will look fab

will probably end up in my Japanese garden.... :))))

Lovely. I have a little list of shrubs & small trees to put in when our autumn & winter is behind us in September, & a red acer is near the top of it, with a magnolia closely behind.

will need somewhere a little shady, dappled light maybe and away from the wind, maybe just to the side of the japanese temple

Thank you Stevie:)) Check out my third!!! Acer

Hi maggiekins i read a while ago to keep them in a pot for a couple of years to grow them on abit then you could perhaps put them in the garden if you want to, ive grown mine in pots and theyve done well, i put one in the garden a couple of years ago and thats doin ok, i had it 10 years before i put it in the garden, i noticed you say you live not far from a castle in your profile, i live near a castle too, and a zoo, is that the same place?!! :^)
