When discussing trees with clients there’s one that often comes up as being particularly admired – the Japanese Maple, or Acer palmatum. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular – the leaves are pretty and often change colour more than once from spring to summer and on into autumn. If your garden’s exposed and windy, there are other trees that can work very well for you, but if you have a sheltered site, even if it’s very small, the Acer palmatum is well worth a try.

Have you ever brought home those little pots of herb plants from the supermarket, arranged them to great effect in fetching containers on your kitchen windowsill , and thrown them out a week or two later, wilted or covered in greenfly? Yep, me too.
