Yes, they do grow rather slowly and don't attain any huge size, perhaps 25'. I wanted it placed near my house where I can see its bark from my window. I don't want any large trees near my house. I have a Kentucky coffee tree that grows even more slowly and is about the last tree to leaf out and the first to drop its leaves, that one can grow to 100', I have it about 300' away... it's another very interesting tree. >I was thinking of a tree-related question I wanted to ask you, >but, of course, I have forgotten it. Remember it and I will answer if I can. |

That's asking a lot. LOL! It probably had to do with protecting trees from deer--orstaking trees. Maybe it will come to me. -- Jean B. |

One sad thing about moving is that I am leaving my very expensive Japanese maples. > >> I have a pot full of former babies. Some >> are now 8-12 inches tall.

Most trees grow at their greatest rate as saplings True. I'd better get them transplanted--along with my J. maple babies. > >> The main >> thing I recall about these trees, besides their visual interest, >> is that they leaf out late (as confirmed in your photo) and they >> grow VERY slowly. > > Yes, they do grow rather slowly and don't attain any huge size, > perhaps 25'.

I do have what appears to be a columnar maple, and I am debating about where to put it.

Does it bloom? I don't think I've ever seen any around here, even though I like prowling the nurseries.

I already fenced my new tree right after taking that picture... there's no telling what deer will find tasty. This one didn't need staking as it's well protected from wind. |

I have so much to do here at the new house.... Wow! Nice range of zones and not even an alien species. I'll have to look into that. I guess my only qualm would be the spread. You have much more space than I do. -- Jean B. |

You have much more space than I do. Plant trees first, then do other chores while they grow. If you keep putting off planting by the time you get around it it you'll be the one who has grown, too old. |

What does make a difference is the fact that summer is approaching. I should have planted earlier. Now I may just wait until fall. -- Jean B. |

Not so upset in the fall, when I have to mess about with >leaves. ;-) (Thanks, don't want evergreen trees in my yard.) Paperbark maple is not an evergreen tree, nor does it grow very large. What have you got against everygreen trees? Conifers make excellent nesting sites for song birds, especially those that winter over. And conifers are available in all sizes, from tiny dwarfs to giants and every size inbetween... and conifers typically grow upright, they don't occupy a very large footprint. |
