Dwarf Acer Palmatum "autoperpuream"

Lovely secluded spot Alice, super Acer and the ferns look great there....:o)

This is a gorgeous spot!

What a beautiful part of your garden, i love it.
Everything's right (for me!), the colours, shapes and textures .... lovely :-)))))))

Thank you ladies...its my only "wild" spot in the garden....

I keep going back to look at it :-))

(blush)....I am rather pleased with it....only set it up 2 years ago :))

Lovely spot Alice,you have the same birdbath as me !!!! :0)))))

Aha....what good taste you have Stripes...:)))

Acers are just perfect this time of year.

stunning alice,so complementary to each other....

Lovely cosie corner AA

Beautiful AA.....I could look at this for hours. :o)

Thank you ladies....the acer is devoid of leaves now....but they will soon be back.....

hello amble - love the pic, do you protect the acer during winter at all? Not sure whether to plant mine in the garden or leave in a pot

No protection Minihoney....some are ok in pots, others do better in the ground....think this one is probably better in the ground....have you had yours long in a pot?

I bought it in an auction a month or so ago so dont know how old it is, it is only about a foot and a half tall and a bit spindly. Dont think it came with a label. I have a pic of it in my 'garden' photos

I've had a look at your acer...it seems a very young one...an ideal age to put in ground, if thats what you decide to do......

Nice area & that acer is beautiful. Choosing a couple right now to put into my garden.
