My first Japanese Maple was a freebie from Sooner that was
rated to grow to as much as 25 feet high, a height I wasn't able to find in
the local stores. A scraggly little sucker at 24 1/2 inches, he still
fascinates me with his beauty.
I added the second in the spring of 2008 in an effort to
hinder the ability of the commercial neighbors and customers to watch me
grill steak in my boxers. (Just a joke... sorta.) It was rated at a possible
20 or more feet. I'm pretty sure they're the same breed.
I was told these are slow growers, but the Little guy is
looking like he will grow a foot or more the first year. I won't start
measuring the second one until this fall.
