It was left out in a pot for years prior Dottydaisy I then got another to put in the empty pot which my daughter has now. As long as they are well watered and not in a windy place mine did OK left out for years. Same as my pink one I uploaded the other week. This has stayed out side since it was smaller than Shirley's.

Thanks everyone ... having lost a couple of purple Acers over the years I am 'molly-coddling' this Orange Dream!
