New maples!!
Posted: Mar 14, 2013 1:26 pm
Hello folks,
I'm excited to report that I just bought 3 new maples: Seiryu (4' tall in a tiny gallon container, yet nicely branched), Shishigashira (3' tall with a trunk ca. 2" in diameter) and a Fern Leaf maple, Acer japonicum acontifolium (3-4' tall, nice wide spread--- I couldn't fit her into my Mazda, so had to return with my pick-up to take her home!)
I'm on spring break this week and had done so well early on staying away from the garden centers (the cold weather helped a lot). Then it warmed up quite a bit yesterday and there I was, checking out hostas and trees! Lord help me....
I'll be sure to post some pics soon after they start leafing out in a few weeks. I can't wait!
