For foliage follow-up this month, I've chosen a couple of maples that are particular favorites of mine. The first is Acer palmatum dissectum 'Emerald Lace' which grows in a large pot next to my house. I fell in love with the lacy green leaves, the fall show is an added bonus!
Help! I know that it needs pruning but I'm afraid of ruining it.
The other is an Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' which I inherited with the garden. It took a long time to grown on me and I thought more than once of removing it. I'm glad that I took my time with the decision and didn't take this one out. This time of year the red foliage is very intense!
It even makes a nice red carpet to enjoy.
Foliage Follow Up is sponsored by Pam Penick every month on the day after Bloom Day to help us appreciate and remember the importance of foliage in our gardens. Click on over to Digging to see other foliage posts.
