Maple garden path

[@fisiomanuales]

Brilliant idea, i like the views with this project. The weather is cloudy in your area and you need this specially when rains are.

Looks great. Do you have a recommendation for a compact acer for zone 6a, mostly full sun? I prefer a darker leaf. Thx.

[@mbeeme355]

Thank you for watching 🙂 In zone 6 it should be quite easy to make maples thrive as long as you can protect them against wind. I do not have any maple in mostly sun, but both Starfish and Red pygmy I have in the afternoon sun and they have kept their red color great during the summer. Shishigashira is a very interesting dark green maple that can take much sun. Jerre Schwartz is a compact red cultivar that is very beautiful. It is said to tolerate full sun, but it then may loose its red during the summer. There are so many more delightful maples to choose from, and I wish you luck with your choice.

@@mbeeme355 Thank you for your detailed reply! The only compact ones I have available locally are Shaina, Inabe Shidare, Moonrise, Orangeola, and the other usual suspects (Tamukeyama, etc.). I was amazed with the colors on Moonrise right now. I suppose it's hard to go wrong with any...

@@apleparulo3958 Moonrise is absolutely wonderful and one of my all time favorites, but it is said to not enjoy full sun...My experience with Shaina is not so good, I have had two, and both of them died during springtime. Jerre Schwartz is related and in my experience more hardy. The Orangeola I have has been very strong and grows very well. I'm trying my second Inaba Shidare now, the first one died in spring due to a placement that was too windy. In general I think placement is of major importance, so the better you know your garden the better chance you have for success.🙂
