    he's getting a little bigger and the leaf pattern is maturing a bit.

    it has some of the serrrations of the parent plant a dissectum viridis,
    but similar coluration of the osakazuki that it is nearest to...and probable father

    the little un has sprouted a few more leaves,
    but i've had to watch the watering as the little pot dries out quickly.
    i'll pot him up this autumn into a bigger pot...

    I really love Acers and got one from Asda thought it wouldn't do much but its growing well.

    It's a tall one up to 3 mtrs but will fill a gap in the corner of the garden.
    Would be great to grow one from seed if it works ok.

    I got 3 from asda this year. But with the harsh spring we had I think 1 is on its last legs 1 is half and half but a red one is ramping away not sure on the type but must be a Hardy one like

    it could come back,
    they do tend to suffer from dieback, but those branches that do usually go very dry and brittle quickly.

    i was almost surprised to see this little one come back after the first winter...
    it was barely more than a seedling with just a couple of leaves.

    looks a lot stronger now with a more woody stem, and about the same size i bought my osakazuki from an arbouritum.
    this one is a very slow grower though....
