Acer shirasawanum 'Garden Glory'

This shirasawanum does very well in full sun. This is its second year with me and it has put on a good bit of growth this year. I can't wait to see what fall colors it bring.

 

New growth!

 

@LoverOfMaples, 4 weeks on from your very first photo of this cultivar and it's looking amazing D. Perfect amongst the pine straw.
You're looking after all your trees brilliantly.

 

Thanks D for the kind words. I try to do the best I can. Sometimes it feel like I have 2 jobs lol. But I enjoy it.

 

@LoverOfMaples, but it keeps us young D and the pleasure it brings....... you cannot put a price on that.

 

'Garden Glory' have survived its first winter and have flushed out nicely.

 

Update: 5/24/21

 

Update: 'Garden Glory has just about doubled in size and putting out a lot of new growth. Pretty weird for this time of year.

 

What is the red maple planted next to it? I like the contrast.

 

@Worldly_Wrangler that is Coleus 'Trailing Queen' or 'Trailing Red'. It's 4 years old.

 

Thanks for the response, I love coleus!

I was referring to the Update: 5/24/21 pictures. Is the ‘Garden Glory’ partially red or is that another maple next to it?

 

Lol. Ohhhhhh, sorry about that. That's Acer shirasawanum 'Gloria'.

 

That’s a beautiful combination! I am sad to say that I only have one Shirasawanum, ‘Kawaii’. I hope to get more this spring and I am enjoying all of the galleries you have posted.

 

Thanks! 'Kawaii' is a beauty shirasawanum and a great one to start with.

 

Thats a definite!!

 

Ok here is 'Garden Glory' from 5/28/22

 

Glory is the right name D, it really is the most glorious green.

 

I agree D
