the acer is growing in a large pot because my soil is very alkaline so I have to feed it regular during the growing season, I use a ericacious feed and top dress it in the spring with ericacious compost. As for the size the acer is quite a few years old you have to be patient.
I can't grow acers in the ground here because of the alkali limestone rock. But the wild trees at the edge of the woodland around my house look lovely.
The Lagerstroemia in my daughter's garden has lovely red leaves.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
BL...I enjoy a similar picture from the wood at the back of the house but then curse all the leaves that have to be cleared . . . . It's not so bad if there's a good South westerly blowing.
