actually, I did get a second lime green Japanese maple and it started going black at
the tips, looked like fireblight. I was terrified it would infect the one I had
already so i took it back and got my money back. Ingrid

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 Ingrid!
Sorry, should have said zone 8, pacific northwest. This one just looks
bad, maybe it's the pot, the pot size, or the soil, I dunno. I've
never had one before, so I have no experience or "feel" for this tree
yet, happy to have it though. Thanks for the advice!
