Stunning acer..........

I agree Paul stunning

Great Photo

a wow factor acer

Biggest one I've ever seen. Any idea of its age, Paulthegardener?

I don't know how old this is Elke but there were larger ones at Groombridge but they weren't such a perfect shape as this one. My mother in law has a similar one which, i woul;d say isn't much smaller than this and her's is 28 years old!( She and my late father in law planted it in their first summer at their bungalow 1981)

It's an Acer Palmatum isn't it? I seem to remember these can grow quite big over many many years.

Yes, Palmatum. But I would imagine this is very old so don't grow too hugetoo quickly!
