You look to be in a very peaceful location Laurie, a rolling hillock behind you, I bet you get some wildlife there. Congratulations on the 'first post'! If you have a newer computer it is very easy, when I used an old one it was a very lengthy process to find out, then forget and have to find out again!

Pat it's good to see an Acer alive and growing in the ground, so many seem to get killed off in their younger years.

I have one doing well in a pot which I bought a few years ago as a young plant, they were in 9cm pots and turning colour. This was the only one that had a vivid red glow so I had to buy it! I will try to find a place in the ground for it soon, it should live now and is outgrowing it's pot. I would love to try a Bloodgood though. I have managed to grow a few of A. 'osakazuki' from seed, many others I tried just didn't grow or died once they did.

I took this on 28th Oct., they are gone now.
