Thank you! Loving acers but never having enough money to buy more than tiny ones has encouraged me to be patient!
Good morning from France! I just thought I'd pop in and give an update about my 'Kinshi', which is a very odd shape now, but certainly has the...
OK, the rain has stopped, so here are a few pictures. It's a dull day and there are no leaves yet, but I've done my best. 1 A.p. Toyama Nishiki...
Wow JT, thank you! Such a lot of good advice! I will gladly upload some pictures as soon as the wind stops blowing the rain horizontally past the...
For some years I have been growing this and a pretty similar variety called 'Toyama Nishiki'. To say they have a weeping habit is an...
A second thought - I see you have a Botanical Garden near you. Do they grow any Acer palmatum? Maybe they could give you local advice based on...
Hi - good to see you! I don't have any direct experience, but I doubt if any Acer palmatum would do well in full sun - is there no shade, even...
Well, the postman delivered a nice package on Christmas Eve. My collection has been enlarged by the arrival of the following A. palmatum...
Thank you for that, Roebuck. I've never actually managed to get to Packhorse Fm - I was in the general area for the first time in ten years last...
You are a gentleman: merci, Alain! But this complete unavailability is a bit of a mystery, isn't it? I wonder if it is known by another name? Oh...

When I moved from UK to France I brought with me a small number (5-6) of Aesculus varieties. These had been growing in containers for at least ten...
Santa (who I didn't believe in until five minutes ago!) has offered to bring me an Acer palmatum 'Yuri-hime' for Christmas, but he has told me I...
In slight defence of keeping 'Higasa Yama' in a pot.... The original advice might stem from the fact that growth is slower when a maple is...
Very nice - very puzzling! A new game for a plant nerd's Birthday Party: 'Pin the name on the Maple'....?
I was told when I bought it that you need to keep the roots confined in order to get the best of the leaf colour and effect: that if planted out...
Hi emery and thank you. It has only been in that spot for three days, and had just been watered when the picture was taken. The 'disaster' was...
I believe that Higasayama only 'performs' properly when fairly confined in a pot, so if you bought one and simply planted it out it could...
Thank you again! I've just been up and done the bark scratch test, and to my amazement much of it is green, though the already shooting spots are...
