I'm sure Willow does it on purpose! lol. Love those Acers btw.

Beautiful photos Dawn, reminds me of Astwoods garden :-))

Love the foliage ,do you prune your Acer Crimson King Dawn ? we've never touched ours its huge , I'm not even sure how you would go about pruning it !

Hi Amy, it needs doing, we have done it in the past.John keeps the drummondii in check, but we were saying today, crimson king needs bringing down in size, I googled and dead of winter is the best time as acers bleed.

I Didn't know that Dawn We've only ever trimmed the lower Branches off I'm afraid its far to big to tackle now ... Its a good job I like it as it is ...

Love this tree I have one as well it's just starting to get to a good size, yours are shaped lovely :-)

Thanks Kathy, John keeps them in the ball shape, well worth it

Around 12 years Julia, although they were quite established when we bought them, say 6 feet tall. We have 6 here, opposite each other.
