    From Mr Maple:
    I bought my little tree from a seller displaying pictures of a red-leafed tree, but when it arrived I thought I'd received something else by mistake until Mr Maple's info page cleared it up. Looks like I have the green-leafed version! It's a pretty little thing with nice large leaves, fairly uninteresting during the summer but has started to put out some good autumn colours:

    This one has grown well over the spring: it's not a particularly eyecatching tree but it's healthy and doing what it's supposed to, so that's always good!

    30th October 2023 and my Kansai akegarasu looking pretty, but with some asthetic pruning to do in the Spring.
