Red Maple (Acer Rubrum)

Ahh, the Red Maple. Honestly cannot wait for my first autumn with the leaves changing colour (or color for those of the American persuasion) and tumbling to the ground...

These trees are just stunning, in raft or forest style especially...

Very long stratification though - 120 days! Still, can't wait...

The foliage is just stunning:

And can be made to look so beautiful and natural in Bonsai form, whilst green:

Or red:

Just to re-itterate, I. Cannot. Wait.
