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.
