07/2019: Planted in north garden to replace dead red japanese maple
Even though this sun lover is sited on the north side of our house, it sits about 10 feet out from the wall and so gets a good amount of direct sun as it tracks across the sky in summer. I normally would have gone for at least a part-sun tree, but when I saw the spectacular leaf coloring I had to have it. Normally a slow grower anyway, it’s grown approximately 0 inches in one year, so we’ll see if it actually puts on height in the next few years.
