it depends on your zone. here in zone 5 my palmatum dissectum maple is thriving in a
pot altho the roots are down thru the bottom and into the soil I am sure. it is on
the north side of a little sitting area where it is protected from strong winds and
strong sun. http://puregold.aquaria.net/landscape/sit/sit.htm shows a picture (Late
May 2004 - the Virginia creeper is taking over) is the label on the pic. .. just to
the right of my little dog. That maple really has a hissy fit if not watered
properly. the ends get crispy. Ingrid

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone might have some wisdom for me regarding a
poor lone Japanese Maple in a pot? I inherited it when I moved into
this house as the previous tenants have left it behind. Poor thing has
one rickety "stem," about 8 leaves, and just looks awful. What can I
do for it? I was thinking of planting it in the ground, although I've
never planted one before. Any ideas or special recommendations for me
before I launch into a google research expedition?
Thanks!
