Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream'

Lovely Acer, though it is not showing up its nice colour against your fence, perhaps it will later, it’s probably a nice sheltered place for it to be.

Josie, you have said exactly what I thought when I put the photo on! Either the foliage has lightened up, or it needs a darker background!!

Still a beautiful acer all the same!

Thanks Kate ... :o)

Now why haven't I got an Acer in my new garden?

Julia, the supermarket starting with M often has a good selection of Acers for sale. This one came from there many years ago ... :o)

Not somewhere we usually shop, but perhaps we'll take a look.

Julia, we don't shop for groceries there either! This one was bought years ago when we stopped on the way to a hospital appt., another was bought when we fuelled up the car and I saw them outside the store!

Come to think of it Bloomer is often telling me she's had some bargains from that very supermarket.

Julia, this morning we shopped in S'burys and I was so cross to see the unwatered, therefore dying, plants on the racks. Why oh why, do they bother to order them?

I know just what you mean. To be honest it seems only Booths seem to bother with the plants they have for sales. I think the others buy in such large quantities they're not concerned with the those they lose.
