Acer Palmatum 'Atropurpureum'

#foliagefriday

Ooooohhhhweeee!!! She's buuutyful!!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😁 finally looking decent now it’s in a more sheltered area 🙏🏻

Welcome! Do you know which one it is?💘😍

Gorgeous foliage! Keep an eye out for geeenflies and blackflies. They love to have a good banquet on acers. So far mine has been ok.

@ShelleySnyder sadly not, they’re never named properly. It infuriates me 😂

@ublaszko I’ve just made sure to spray them with bug spray (a non-chemical one of course) because I have a lot of trouble with spiders on mine 😱 they damage so many of the leaves 😰

Love the colour of this one 👌

Lovely colour

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😁

@gjones thanks Katy 😃

I haven't heard of spider on acer leaves. What do the leaves look like when damaged by spiders? Will keep in mind to watch our for. I spray mine with insecticide when leaves first start to appear and that seems to do the trick for the rest of the year.
