Best place to plan Acers

Depends on the variety of Acer, more info please.

The most important thing for most Acers is shelter from wind . . .

well, for Japanese Acers, Sheilabub, other varieties aren't bothered so much

Oh - thanks Bamboo - I never knew that :)

Well, think Acer negundo, Acer pseudoplatanus, Acer campestre, they couldn't care less about wind, along with others. Which is why I asked what acers the question's about...

Right, I see what you mean . .
