Acer Jordan

Much healthier than mine..where is it positioned Janey?

The shrubs behind are meant to be sheltering it from the east Julia but the wind swoops down so has dried it. I can't move it as the pot is too large and heavy.

Still looks good, Janey, once the plant grows its new leaves it should grow very well. I know all about the wind burning the foliage of my plants, it happens all the time here!

Yes it does Balc, I shall leave it to grow how it wishes.
I'm sorry to hear that your balcony gets the strong winds too. You've had a really lovely show this year though..:)

Love it!

Thanks, Janey. Yes, we live on a windy street - perhaps as our road goes down (literally, down) to the river less than 10 mins walk away & the river being in the lowest point of town I suppose it creates a down draft, but it's only a guess. People over the years we've lived here have commented on how this street seems to be one of the windiest in town.

I'm at the top of the hill here Balc, so windy too, we seem to get quite a few very windy days don't we. Like your balcony, the plants here seem to cope. It's only the acers that are scorched.

Thanks, Janey, I'm glad you like the balcony! I think it is getting windier, too! A "side effect" of climate change I should imagine!

It looks good Janey.

Thanks Rose, I'm getting used to it's new developments haha!

And yours is a much better shape than mine, which you couldn’t tell from my “birds-eye” photo!
