Japanese maple - Acer palmatum 'Emperor 1'

startling colour, its lovely

Do you grow Japanese maple, Sticki?

i have a few acers but they dont look as stunning as yours. bampy and stevietheterrible have some i think tubbyhippo has some and im sure many others do too!

Yes, I like Stevie's Sangokaku and Bampys zen.

great arent they, i love trees, but i have 3 favourites ~ acer, larch and cedar

Added this to GoYpedia Crazy Paving.

Thanks Terra.

I like larch as well and I am posting for you the Western red cedar on our property Sticki. It is not the large one but it is the one not in the forest I could capture by the camera.

thanks klahanie, you have some amazing trees growing near you.

That's incredible! It's so vibrant!

This pot is almost in full sun. I understand that jap. maples do not like full sun, but this one is watered well and never had burned leaves on it. I have other acers in partial sun which do not look so healthy.

You probably get enough humidity that it doesn't burn.
Plants here typically burn when we get into the Santa Ana Wind Season (which started in mid-Sept). This is when the humidity can go down to 5 percent and is very hot!

Thank you Delonix1 and Gudia.
Hope you will be able to get it Gudia.
