Acer Palmatum whip
Can anyone suggest a good source for a quantity of these (probably around 10).
If not whips then 2 or 3 years olds will be OK. Many thanks for any advice. Phil |

Phil You mentioned in the 'A trip to Woolies' thread, that Woolworths are selling them for 2.99 each. Is that too much? -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

Phil ------------- I recommend Barthelemy & Co., Tel 01202 874283 262 Wimborne Road West, Stapehill, Nr Wimborne, Dorset. BH21 2DZ They sell Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum seedlings £10 for 10 and slightly cheaper for other colours. They also have a wide range of grafted species. Always very friendly and helpful and the trees I have bought have been good. Marina E. Sx |

Phil You mentioned in the 'A trip to Woolies' thread, that Woolworths are selling them for 2.99 each. Is that too much? Sorry for misleading slightly but I got the prices wrong on the Acers they are 3.99, as was the Wisteria Other items are 2.99 - Budlieas for example, and I think maybe the Clematis were too. On to the Acer question ... I was not sure that the ones in Woolies were offering me the best value for money. It OK being cheap. If 3.99 is cheap for a whip, and I'm not sure it is. But they come with a host of problems. The plants may have dried out, definately warmed up when they would be better out in a cool place, if not outdoors completely. Some of the items were starting to grow, and as far as I can see this may be problematical. If I were to buy these I will have a plant thats warmed up in a shop and has put on some tender shoots. Now what do I do. I need to put it somewhere cool, but I cannot put it outside because the tender bits will be killed. It still only January. If somewhere did bare rooted whips or maidens straight from a field then I would know I had dormant plants which I can put outside and wait for spring to arrive. Maybe Acers are not big enough to be grown and sold like that, hence my question. Phil |
