Here's the lacy leafed Japanese Maple. It's the large plant in the brown and beige ceramic pot. There are begonias planted in the same pot around the base of the maple. This one has lasted outside summer and winter for about 10 years now. I've repotted twice in that time. I've not had any problem other than sun scald on the leaves until I found this spot protected from the worst of the evening sun. I bought this one at Cornelius and can't remember the specific cultivar, but they usually have them in stock and I'll look for it next time I'm there and email you with the name. Be warned, it was pretty pricey at over $100.00. The red one in the front yard that gets larger was much cheaper, about $30.00 at Houston Patio. Hope this helps.
