Advice on an Acer please

Can anyone tell me if its ok to move an Acer now as I woould like to move this one to a brighter area

 

do you mean brighter area as in full sun?

i thought acers preferred dabbled shade (for reds etc who need some sun for leaf colour) or partial shade (for the others mainly greens) etc and lots don't do well in full sun and can suffer leaf scorch

 

Hi

Its too late to move now you will have to wait until late November to March is the ideal time.

If you decide to move it now, I would say you will kill it , just not worth the risk

Ah thank @Dips & @Spruce you for the advice which I will take on board and leave it be whilst it's happy

 

@appleblossom it seems happy where it is anyway as the colour is looking good :-)

 

I agree! Lovely looking tree.

 

Thank you everyone for your posts I found out it was an Acer by looking it up in one of my new aquired gardening books but it didn't say much about if I could move it and so glad now that I've left it be, I was going to move it to full sun so I could see and enjoy it more but not at the cost of killing or scorching it

 

It needs to be somewhere sheltered as they don't do well in wind, so you might want to bear that in mind when you move it. Looks like my Skeeter's Broom.
