    I think this is an acer but know nothing more than that. It looks quite happy and healthy in the container so I will leave it as it is. Any advice?
    It was outside my sisters residence and I wanted it. OH said "That's not going in the car" twice then relented so we took it from Walton on the Thames to Norwich in the back of the car :hehe:

    Thats beautiful Jazmine. Its an Acer palmatum. Do you, by any chance, have the name of the variety? They all look very similar, but some varieties grow taller than others.

    Thanks for the advice. I have no idea of the variety but I have always loved them. My sister is a warden and is often given plants etc so I will take the apple tree next!
