Pacific Northwest Gardening: Too many Japanese Maples, 1 by neofarmer

I started collecting seedlings and putting them in pots almost ten years ago. I now have over 150. Obviously I don't have room to put all of them in the ground, so I tried to select just my favorites ones. aagh! I love them all.

But last Fall I pulled out the best color, and this Spring I have pulled out my favs. Then I selected my fav leaf shapes. I think I have it whittled down to about 40.

So this is an invitation to pick up a few maples if you are ever in my area. All I ask is a small donation to cover overhead, or bring me something that blooms blue! Some of them are five to seven years old and are about waist high.

My friend told me to just put a sign out and sale them, but I really don't want strangers coming to my home since I live alone. We have a community yard sale once a year, so I plan to sell whatever is left over.

I guess you guys went to Heidi's already this year or I could have brought some then, but I didn't see anything mentioned about it. I passed along about a dozen last year, but I don't remember who ended up with them. I hope they are bringing joy!
