So you just helped yourself

It is a known plant/tree type and they're grown, sold and imported
into the UK by the million every year.


Could you identify it to us *precisely*? Thanks!


Wild ones from seed are not that precise. You can get down to a few species
A. palmatum and A. japonicum being among the most likely but A. miyabei and
A. nikoense are also possibilities.

If you want anything more precise you have to buy named cultivars.
Chilterns and others offer seeds.
