ACER PALMATUM SHIRAZZ

Damn it?! These were posted in the wrong blog?! LOL.

Going green you see.

INCOMING PINK PASSION JAPANESE MAPLE TREE

Well I need to get around to acquiring a couple of maples but think it likely to be next year now.

In the meantime I do have one coming in which I have not heard of previously and there is precious little about it on the Internet?! Though I did find that little and I will do some more research on it but it looks like another form of one of my favourite Maples which also happens to be my largest Maple.

It is called Pink Passion and from what I can see looks like another type related to Shirazz, or otherwise known in the USA I think of Gwen's Rose Delight.

Of course there will be pictures and more about this when it arrives.

Hmm now I am actually thinking of taking a look up the garden centres this coming week to see what I can find?! Now THERE is an idea and maybe I will pick some up this year after all?!

After all this blog is getting a bit neglected, lol, I should really fill those holes that have been created in my garden with maples?! LMAO!

Saw a Beni Schichihenge in Morrisons and wated to replace mine and did not buy it, lol.

:(

But then I have that Kagiri Nishiki already which is very similar. Some really are very much alike!

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! :)

THE SHOW OF THE SHIRAZZ PART TWO

Tricky toi get a good shape out of this one I find but I do like mine.

I may place it somewhere else next year get a bit more vivid coral pink-red colour as with this one the lower leaves are much deeper than the upper leaves meaning more sunlight means more vivid colours.

But I did want to be careful with this for a couple years as it was in a right old state when I bought it!

THE SHOW OF THE SHIRAZZ PART ONE

Well I warned you it was showy and I warned you it was going to be a little bit of a spectacle too, lol.

My SHIRAZZ or otherwise known as Gwen's Rose Delight...

ACER PALMATUN SHIRAZZ

I found some old and rather quite terrible photos of my maples a few years back in the early days of collecting them.

Apologies for the pictures the camera phone was not brilliant and playing up and I could barely get a half decent photo out of it, lol.

However I think the stunning colours in the photos of my Shirazz will make you impatient for up to date pictures with my latest camera, lol.
