I finally have the spot for a JM. It will be outside, in the ground, in a protected inside corner of the house - east side, with protection from the west sun. Because it will be under overhanging eaves from the house, it needs to be one of the shorter varieties. I prefer that it not be one of the dark reds - like Goodblood. I also prefer it not be one with the finely dissected leaves which scorch so badly in the heat of our summer. But, I would like color! Pinks, oranges, light greens, turning and changing with the seasons...
Can you advise me as to which JMs will take our heat/humidity and remain small and colorful? Thanks for your help!

PS I posted this on the Japanese Maple forum and was told there was nobody from our area there, so thought I'd try Texas Gardening forum instead.
Japanes Maple for the area just north of Houston
Ceejay, I'll ck @ the Farm. We have a nice selection for our area.
Thanks, Linda!!!!!!

This is a wholesale nursery, but they may be able to tell you who carries their trees.

CJ, didn't get your answer today but we were short the main salesgirl! Heck, I didn't even get to the bank!
We have 15 different Acers in our catalog. Did I give you one?
Here's the link to 14 & the other on is in 'Shade Trees' but I don't think that one would work!

At least it is some good info to head you in the right direction. I'll hog-tie Heidi tomorrow & ask her!
Y'all are just wonderful! Thanks!!
