Japanese Maple progress....Far enough now

[orpy]

Beautiful colour and the leaves are in pristine condition Bodhi, just like last year's photo. Does it receive much protection from the hot summer sun? What's your advice for those trying to make it to Autumn without dried leaf tips on JMs?

I love seeing these threads that have been regularly updated over the years. Thanks for keeping us updated on the progress.

Thanks Steven and back at ya for providing us with the opportunity to do so

Beautiful colour and whilst not the most amazing of JM's it's got a great history and is a living example of some great technique.
Inspiring.

Ta Boics, I have enjoyed this trees journey and i guess that is what it is all about.

What a magic looking tree
Congrats Bodhi and what a change over time

Thumbs up Buddy.

Brilliant colour, I am jealous, and the overall look has also been improved.

Ta Watto, we are lucky in Daylesford in that the conditions are perfect for Autumn colour.

Love your work,love your tree and that colour is something else Bodhi..good stuff

Thanks Anthony, loving the encouragement.

Happy to relieve you of said stock standard tree(s) whenever the mood takes you.
Thanks R3, sometimes i forget to realise that it is a nice tree. The eye of the critical Artist and all that.

Hi orpy, yes you have to have a routine for colour and windburn. I keep it under shadecloth and protected from wind until it starts to turn. i then move it into full sun if it is not hot, so it can get cold at night. Works a treat.

Thanks for sharing ... Lovely.
