VIDEO - ACER PALMATUM BENI MAIKO
A nice deep red maple this one. The leaves eventually turn green in time but new ones always first appear red. Similar to the Deshojos.

VIDEO - ACER PALMATUM TSUMA GAKI (PAINTED FINGERNAILS)
One of the most striking Japanese Maples I have is this Tsuma Gaki.
Certainly when it produces its first leaves they are a brilliant jade colour, darkened off in this video I am afraid, and have this drooping or weeping habit not seen in any of my others?!

VIDEO - ACER JAPONICUM HALF MOON MAPLE
My Half Moon Maple and as I am rubbish with common names and only used to latin names I probably have this common name mixed up with the Full Moon Maple of Acer Shirasawanum?!
LMAO.
Brilliant fiery reds and oranges in autumn

VIDEO - ACER PALMATUM DISSECTUM SEIRYU
Acer palmatum dissectum Seiryu.
One of the more beautiful dissectums and a nice bright orange in autumn, as you will see in time.
This one is said to take more sunlight than your average Acers and it certainly seems to be true of this one!

My Acer shirasawanum Jordan
A beautiful shade of green with a great shape to it and looking like a giant Bonsai!

ACER PALMATUM - TSUMA GAKI (Painted Fingernails)
Well I have been threatening to start another blog and this one was always going to be a favourite!
My collection of Japanese Maples of different varieties and amazing colours and one day hope to have my own small forest of dazzling colour to walk through.
Many people have difficulties with these trees purely because and like Orchids there are a few simple rules you just need to adhere to. That I will get around to in my next few posts but for now...
TSUMA GAKI (translated means Painted Fingernails)
A little sensitive and tricky. Large leaves that are a beautiful jade green and quite large and tipped with red.
These are photos recently taken and the green will darken somewhat and have indeed done so already.
My one is about two to three feet tall. Was a bit neglected last year as were all my Maples due to things I could not avoid and took up a great deal of my time.
I will probably pick up a few more varieties this year which I have not done for a couple of years and I have over 20 of them currently.
