Acer circinatum 'Monroe'

This is the cutleaf form of vine maple, dose best in partial shade. Photos taken 5/10/05

 

Regarding the beautiful cultivar A. circinatum 'Monroe', Van Gelderen (1994) writes: "Unfortunately, it is susceptible to mildew, especially in wet summers." Have you found this to be true?

 

I have found that mildew can be a problem with all of the circinatum cultivars. I find that it can be controlled easily with proper placement... morning sun afternoon shade.

 

'Monroe' is off to a good start this year.

 

Lovely D and tbh I don't think any of yours are not looking good.

 

Thanks D
