Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream'

Good luck......they are quite tough.

Im afraid to plant mine out Karen.....

yup, can understand that, but as long as there is shelter, should be fine!

I saw this at my local Gc yesterday, £29 and not very big! Just waiting for Morrisons to get one in :o))

Some of the prices are ridiculous! Good plan if you don't have a Dobbies near you. The furthest south one I know of is at Shrewsbury.

Just a thought...Dobbies is owned by Tesco. So I wonder if Tesco might have some small ones on offer. Worth a look.

I bought 3 of these in Tesco the year before last for £2 each. They have all done well and to be honest, they are the cheapest Acers I have ever bought and seem to stand up to everything - the aren't as affected by the wind like some of the others.

That's good to hear Scottish, as that's what I was hoping for.

I bought one of these for £2 when I was on holiday in Shropshire last week, it's smaller than yours though Karen, but I'll be nuturing it and hopefully it'll grow:)

had mine in pot for two years but thinking about it going in the ground now karen, they are quite tuff i think.

I planted three in the ground today San. I needed the pots!

well hope they do well for you karen, i must sort my pots out to, get some summer plants i think and still need to add to my front pots with my little trees in :o))

I've put my T-Rex in them!

Yep think I may plant mine out too.....need the pot like you Karen!

So far so good Janey. I planted three other Acers in the border..one of which was looking dead...so nothing ventured.....as they say! The others are all ok so far.
