Sunglasses Required
When the setting sun hits Acer japonicum Aconitifolium, it causes some serious brightness. I actually have three of these trees (tree sales are great; my restraint and common sense... not so great; each tree will eventually reach ten feet by ten feet). The largest of the three is now about five foot tall; then I have one about two foot tall, and the smallest just sits there at a foot tall (it was not helped by having a running deer step on it... the deer was running from me, as I was chasing it out of the garden).

So, out of three, you may get one full-size, one medium, and one runt. At least if one up and dies (say, if a hippopotomus sits on it) you won't be bereft.

You were so inspiring Last Year with your variety of Japanese Maples! Now, I'll be re-inspired this year! :-) Beautiful trees! (HOW did the deer get into your yard???) ;-)
Would you PLEASE come to my Nebraska garden and help me get a maple to stick? I'll pay you in, umm, poems. Student papers.
That's my favorite fall color in a tree - and it's a Japanese maple!!! Just beautiful form in those leaves, too.
Gail, Nancy, and Kylee... it is going to be a real beauty when full grown!
Shady... SOMEBODY left the gate open :o)
