acer id

have been given a acer 10 inches high any idea of correct id? thanks in advance gary

 

can anyone help?

 

Are you sure it`s an Acer? The nearest one I can find is A.saccharum, but got my doubts.

 

Marley, I was thinking more Cranesbill.:gnthb:

 

It is an acer. I have one in my garden. They grow to very large shrubs or can be trained into small trees. The one I have was a slip taken from palmatum dissectum under the graft. I can only assume this is used as rootstock. It's a very nice shrub. very feathery and has good autumn colour. Tough as old boots too.

 

yes this is a woody shrub and has been grafted on to the rootstock i have other acers that are simmilar but the leafs are a lot finner

 

similar what do you think?

Ooooooh I see it now. I also have it in the garden. I can't remember the name. It will come to me.

 

Acer Japonicum Aconitifolium :yho:

 

You cheated,you read it off the pic.:gnthb: Gerkin, you are correct and I stand corrected.:flag::gnthb:

 

How dare you call me a cheat. I didn't even click the link nor can I see it written on the pic. I went to Hilliers where I first saw the shrub before ordering. I would expect an apology for that. Just because you didn't know doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

 

If I offended you then I apologise, I was not being serious, the remark was totally tongue in cheek.:gnthb:

 

Thank you. I realise now. Caught me at a bad moment.:flag:
