RE: Donna's Tree

I've had this tree in my garden for a few years now.  It truly is beautiful,
but I grow it in the shade as an understory tree.  I'm not sure how well it
would do in fun sun.  It's light and airy with bright green color that
lights up the shade.  The fall color is also a luminescent yellow.  Love
this small growing tree!

Donna, here is a link to a picture of the Coral Bark Japanese Maple
'Sango-kaku' (Acer palmatum). _Click here: Plants Database:  Image of Coral

I heard about it at an MG meeting tonight where the subject was under
utilized plants.  This tree grows to about 25' and, since it is green (not
red), it can take sun.  You'd just have to make sure it was hardy in your
zone.  I immediately thought of you when I saw the slide.
