Re: Maples in the Newcastle area?
I know somewhere we can set air layers on mature ambers, Japanese maples, english elms and maybe a few other mature nursery grown material, itll be a day trip because its about an hour from where i am mate. Once it warms up that is.

I picked up a heavy trunked palmatum recently on Freecylce & missed out on 2 more by half an hour.

This is the base of one I picked up last year, it has spent the season in the ground, I will be digging soon to do root work & maybe start on giving it some direction up top...
My mentor got a great 'Butterfly' that I have been trying to convince him to part with ever since.. no luck so far
