I have three or four Acers, all quite small. A fiver each at B&Q's.
When
they reach medium large size they'll be chucked. I haven't the room. Not
to
worry I have a few cuttings developing slowly to take their places, - if
I
survive long enough.

Douglas, Did you note the size of the tree? Must have been more than
twenty years old. Of that size and age it has probably been a feature in a
number of shows but has now outgrown its use. But more seriously~ have
you
really managed to strike cuttings? I had access to every possible means of
propagation, but never attempted, as grafting was stated to be the only
method possible.
Even species were understood to be only possible from seeds.
Best Wishes Brian.

Brian, m'dear chap! .
If I have something that's done its biz and outgrown its usefulness I give
it away or chuck it!!
Anyroad up,- about the cuttings. I am so mooed up in my garden and
greenhouses I can't remenber what's what. am also looking after a very sick
person so though I do my best my affairs are a bit dodgy just now,. So
please bear with me when I say, in the face of your evidence I ask your
indulgence for me to withdraw from the cuttings striking forum as I haven;t
time to look anything up and I don't want to lead anyone astray when I am
not quite sure of my facts.
The four Acers are in separate pots on the front patio. I have done a sweep
and can't find any other than the larger ones I have.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused!. You were absolutely correct to
question the veracty of rooting Acer cuttings.
Best wishes!.
Doug.
