The best tree of the day which undoubtedly stood out in the garden and
on our trip was the Acer conspicum? "Phoenix" a beautiful pink tinged
bark and a lovely delicate form, It was really outstanding.

Acer x conspicuum 'Phoenix.' A cross between A. davidii and A. rufinerve.

I'm growing it grafted as a high standard, my wife calls it the Devil Tree
because in winter the Phoenix part goes really bright red.

Nice lemon yellow fall colour but short lived.

A very fine tree, agreed!
