Acer palmatum 'Sango-Kaku'

For its first few years this struggled a bit but in today’s sunshine it was looking fabulous ☀️💗 #acer-palmatum-sangokaku #acer-sango-kaku #acer-senkaki #coral-bark-maple

It looks lovely now, acers are some of my favourite trees

I have this one, it's great for a bit of winter colour ❤️

Hi Laura 👋 I do too! 😊 @columbiariver

Thanks Joan, me too. And this one is especially lovely: gorgeous stems, beautiful autumn colour and slow growing 👌 @joannie.a

Yes I thought you had Jane. It’s a lovely one and I’m so happy mine has settled in. I did actually move it a year or so after I got it. I think it was catching the wind or possibly a mole had disturbed its roots. Either way it’s happier now 😊 @pelly

That's good to hear 👍

Really hard to capture the colour of this acer - can you even see it? - especially as the teasel next to it is almost twice its size 💗

I can see it Jacqueline, I like the Teasel too 😍😍

Oh that's a favourite of mine beautiful colours right through the year 😊😍

They look great together but in the full photo the acer just disappears.

Mine too Pauline. It’s a few years old but did don’t grow at all for the first three years so I moved it. Not far but it seems happier I think 🤔🤞

I can! It looks like they’re dancing together 😊

Thanks Laura. I wish you could see them in real life though... 🛫✈️🛬 ...so much better! @columbiariver

Ooh, you old romantic you! 💃🏼🕺🏼 @rachelbrooks

☺️☺️☺️

About the 60s? Of course they say if you can remember them you weren’t there. 🎶I was born, born in the 60s 🎶 @columbiariver

So pleased to see that this is much happier in its new home 🏡

Looks really healthy and happy Jacqueline 👍👍👍

Looking good there Jacqueline 👍👍

It's strange as I actually haven't moved it far at all, but it is definitely much happier. I had thought it was a goner @pelly @juliesgarden

Even better then 👍👍👍

This looks much happier now in its new home 🏡

Lovely colouring 👌🏼

This is still not entirely happy but better than it was in its last home, which was a few feet away...
