Acer pal. ‘Sazanami’
(Initial revision 8 Feb 2011)
I left this one in pot and kicked around for a few years, and then one November, I noticed its true colour. So I finally planted it in the garden. It appears to have long slender arching and lose branching habit; an attribute that may be exploited for landscaping with suitable pruning/training.
