Just Got my first 2 Japanese Maples...

WooHoo! Just Got my first 2 Japanese Maples! (online)

I got a 'Katsura' and a 'Kamagata'... I plan to grow them in pots (in Al's Gritty Mix, of course). I'll probably (eventually) put the Katsura in the yard and get an additional one, two, or maybe even forty seven!

I'm going to get a 7 foot 'Kinran' from my local nursery to replace the 2 White Mulberry Monstrosities that I'm cutting down.

I had a regular maple that was in a spot that got too much water, grew too fast (making the wood weak), snapped in half in a thunderstorm and fell on my house, tearing up the 2 week old shingles that I had put on! I swore I would never have a maple OF ANY KIND in my yard. Now I'm addicted to JM's and talking about getting another 47!

Life, it seems, is not without a sense of irony! (credit: Morpheus, of The Matrix)

Any tips/advice would be appreciated!
