ACER PALMATUM DISSECTUM SEIRYU in JULY

I still want a purple one of the along with a variegated one whose name escapes me right now along with Orangeola.

I do suspect however that Orangeola is not really that different from this one, in Autumn at any rate?!



ACER PALMATUM AKA SHIGITATSU SAWA in JULY

Not so much of the peachy red flushes of colour so I have pruned back the conifers that partly shade this and the Shirazz along with a few others!

I will shift a few things about but now have to be careful as they are saying very hot and sunny July now and as it as only the 2nd July today?!

TYPICAL?!

LMAO!




ACER PALMATUM SHIN DESHOJO in JULY

Though I love all my maples there is only one that always stops me in my tracks with surprise each time I catch a glimpse of it while in my garden!

The Shin Deshojo and I really do not think that my pictures of it do them justice as they look like they have a faint glow to them when you first look at them. Never fails stun me!








ACER PALMATUM SANG KAKU in JULY

Note the yellowish tips to leaves and had intended to look for a variety with MORE yellow and did find one or two but not in UK!

ACER PALMATUM ORIDONO NISHIKI in JULY

My Oridono Nishiki leaves still attractive.



ACER PALMATUM TSUMA GAKI in JULY

Here is my Tsuma Gaki and a little lighter than normal for this time of year. Still a great deal darker than the SPring though and a shame they do not keep that Spring colour as the green is very vibrant and lighter even than my Shirasawanum?!

A great weeping look when leaves first emerge too!!

Tsuma Gaki means Painted Fingernails.





ACER PALMATUM SHIRAZZ GONE GREEN

This is my Shirazz Japanese Maple, also known as Gwen's Rose Delight.

Turned green likely due to pretty crappy weather and conifers needing pruning, lol.

Pruned and sun is OUT! :)
