BTW maples are deciduous. David |

I don't know what the climate is in edinburgh and your description is rather vague so I cannot give specific help. Try the local garden club or nursery who will know more than somebody a world away what will grow locally. Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_maple David |

Are you sure it's not "Chinese" instead of "japanese"? Try google searching for "evergreen maple" instead of "maple evergreen" big difference in the search engines. From searching there does seem to be an animal, ok plant. Not sure about trees, but seems to have some shrubs. A plant in a warm climate might be an evergreen and that same plant will not be an evergreen in a colder northern climate. I did a google street view map of edinburgh, UK. Nice looking downtown street, of north bridge and High street. I like the looks of those double decker busses. Is that where your from? -- Enjoy Life... Dan L (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

I'd forget evergreen and look for "Full Moon Maple". in a container you could train it as a large bonsai. http://mendocinomaples.com/index.php?crn=180&rn=346&action=show_detail Have Fun ! -- Bill S.

Even a very small bonsai... there are dwarf versions and Japanese maple grows excrutiatingly slowly... but none that I've ever met are evergreen http://www.bonsai4me.com/SpeciesGuid...ancedGuide.htm http://www.bonsaigardener.org/japane...or-bonsai.html |

On the outside chance that you are truly helpless, "Most species are deciduous, but a few in southern Asia and the Mediterranean region are evergreen. Most are shade-tolerant when young, and are often late-successional in ecology" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple Good luck. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://english.aljazeera.net/video/m...515308172.html |
