Acer, " Orange Dream " for Sandra


Acer, " Orange Dream " for Sandra

We had alovely day out yesterday with Sandra and Russell, Lunch then a visit to a fantastic garden Center at Tong, we called at Morrisons on the way home and I couldnt leave without purchasing this lovely Acer [among other things lol] I fell in love with this Acer after seeing pictures of it on Goy Friends sites.I have been in and out inbetween rain showers this afternoon deciding on the best place for it and this is it!
It will replace a box shrub which has been badly effected with Die Back. so waiting for some dry calm weatheer now to plant it, in the meantime its sheltering inside.

I've had mine for nearly a year now, but its in a pot, and I am constantly putting it back in the greenhouse because of the cold winds.

It'll be great there Carole.....yes Morrisons, that's where I bought mine...lol! Good to hear you had a smashing day with Sandra and hubby too....:))

Ha ha, so the suggestion to go to the M supermarket was a good idea then?! I have planted my Orange Dream in a pot, where it can mature for a year or so. I fear I may have lost my purple Acer ... see the question I asked today about it ... it was a Fathers Day gift for my OH so has sentimental value .........

Carole, I've been moving stuff around this week too. Love your orange dream...we are all getting one..it is very fashionable just now! It does turn very green in summer by the look of yours and Annie's. Needless to say, mine is still orange!
