Yes, Sue, we are very lucky to have Acers in our garden, but I only know the name of two!

So . . . is there an Acer expert in the house, lol?

Acer griseum (peeling bark Acer)

no name . .

no name . .

Acer Bloodgood!

Thank you Jen!

Beautiful colours there and I love the fact that you don't know the names of all of them. Makes me feel better since there are few trees in my garden that I can name, in fact I have no idea how most of them got there! Birds I guess.

That's very kind of you, Ginellie - thank you!

They are sure to cheer everyone up....I'm so jealous of every ones acers....names or no names Shiela they look amazing....I tried and failed years ago but I think as there is more shelter in my garden now they might like it.

All are beautiful but I especially like the one with the peeling bark and the next one down!

All lovely.
The third picture could be "Aconitifolium" and the 2 next are acers dissectums (lace leaf) but I would not know which ones.

I love Acers but no use to you in naming these!

What a beautiful collection you have... :)

They are fabulous and definitely up-cheering! (especially nos 5 & 6)What a kind thought - thank you Sheila! I did try growing a Bloodgood once but it only lasted a couple of years before the wind here did for it. I won't doom another one to the same fate...

You are more than welcome, Sue. Thank goodness 99 per cent of this website is positive and cheering :))

I too love the Acers and now I am the proud owner of four, if they all look like yours in a few years I will be a very happy goyer....

Thank you Sue - no reason why yours shouldn't keep looking good :)

All very nice, I think the green feathery one is Acer palmatum 'Dissectum. ?

Thank you Dawn - that does sound right :)
