The other branches show absolutely no signs of bud movement at all. This time last year all braches were virtually in full leaf. I wish old spider would eat those beetles now........ ta dj |

The poor thing might not yet know whether it's coming or going. Give it a bit more time. I wish old spider would eat those beetles now........ ta dj |

Only one tiny branch way on the bottom is coming out at all. The other buds appear dead. I'm hoping that I'll soon see the "emergency" buds, but... It's been a miserable winter for maples. On the other hand A. shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' is just fine, confirming that it's relatively tougher than 'Aureum.' Is yours actually the species? -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |

My new one (bought from crocus.co.uk & planted in Feb) is looking a bit miserable. Lots of buds have sprung leaves, but they are all looking wilted and tired. Hopefully some decent weather will bring it to life... |

[] E, yes http://www.daj.fseltd.btinternet.co.uk/Shirasa.htm DJ, Always hard to tell from a photo, but I believe that is A. shirasawanum 'Aureum' _not_ A. shirasawanum var. shirasawanum. I.e. a cultivar not the species. Here are some photos of each: Species: http://www.esveld.nl/htmldiaen/a/acshir.htm Cultivar 'Aureum': http://www.esveld.nl/htmldiaen/a/acsaur.htm Lovely little tree you've got, I hope it recovers. -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |
