Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) are the perfect trees for small gardens. They have stunning autumn colour and can be grown in containers. Keep them in sheltered positions as wind can destroy their pretty leaves. #japanesemaples #autumncolour #treesforsmallgardens #japanesegardens #cloudpruning | Simon Akeroyd Garden Writer

Red maple (Acer rubrum) and Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) are some of the earliest-blooming native trees in the eastern US. Since they're in bloom now and many red maples have actually already started forming samaras (seeds), I wanted to share a video of all the maple flowers I've recorded. Make sure to take a close look at all the maple flowers you can find this year! They are pretty for sure. Definitions: - Polygamodioecious: Individual trees usually have either all female or all male flower
