-acer palmatum dissectum 'seiryu' -"green dragon" Japanese maple -purchased from Fantastic Plants (www.fantasticplants.com) in 2004 -planted in its current location in April 2005 -current height ~6'
This is the first tree that I ever planted, and it has proven amazingly resilient, having survived virtually every mistake that a novice gardener can make. It seems to have forgiven me for giving it too much sun, wind, water and fertilizer, then digging it up and leaving it for dead in a container over the winter. As the photos show, it appears pretty happy in its new, shadier, drier location. |
