Japanese Maple

Mr Miyagi..

Yeah and in lockdown I’m doing too much wax on- wax off. I’m going blind.... slowly.

Love both of those! I’m going to have to look into getting an Acer they’re beautiful.

I have a few and just cannot get them to grow. They come back every year, with few little leaves but nothing like Wayne's... I guess I don't have green fingers!

When I was younger, I was told that I looked like Daniel-San, I used to do karate too, so I had a lot of similarities.

This is Tsetsuo Otake, my teacher, "Mr Miyagi"!

I killed my two bonsai trees, not good. We also have a pine tree in the garden but I cut it apart regularly in the summer for the smoker BBQ.

My wife and I love Japanese maple. At present we have 3 mature ones in our garden: 2 Bloodgood and 1 Crimson Queen. The Crimson Queen is particularly interesting because it is a small tree with a weeping aspect and dissected leaf. All 3 are lovely when they are in full leaf.

That's a nice window screen. ;-)

Had one of these by the Koi Pond for several years then for no obvious reason last year - dead as a dodo.

Mine looked dead a couple of weeks ago. It’s only a young one.

Not really: it’s a good 25 feet from the window with a garden and path in between.

Apologies, my mistake.
