Good sound advice Pete. Sometimes we overlook the obvious, even with directions.

Acer palmatum 'Seiryu' grows fast and is easy to locate and cheaper than others. I have one and it really is superb and it grows at least as wide as tall and probably wider overall. I'll have 1 year grafts next summer but your best bet is to buy a larger one to move things along.

Here's a photo of mine - planted in 2001 as a large 25 gallon size or so but easily grows 2-3 feet a year in my not so perfect climate. Photo from June 2004.
