    I have a acer palmatum dissectum that I planted about 30 years ago.
    The profile from the RHS is here describes it as a tree that after 10-20 years will reach  to 2.5m x 2.5m.
    Here's a photo of mine (in autumn with its colours)-


    My acer palmatum dissectum is about 8m wide and about 5m high.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Don't know where you live but Hippopottering Nursery near Doncaster is a Chelsea exhibiting acer specialist.

    Wow, that's absolutely breathtaking! Does it have very dissected leaves, or the ones more like a hand? Sorry, I can't see the leaves very clearly

    If I click on the photo I can enlarge it ... the leaves are the very dissected ones  :)

    Yes, as Dove says it's got very dissected leaves - will get a photo in a while - when it stops raining (and not said that for a while!!)

    Thank you. I can see that too, I just wanted to make sure. Does it still have the lower branches?
