Acer sp.?
« on: June 10, 2020, 06:04:25 PM »
We found this self-sowing round a late friend's garden.  I can't recall him ever pointing it out. 

We dug up 3-4 seedlings (or were they suckers?).

Here's a photo of one of them.

Identified today by Jack Alexander, former head propagator at the Arnold Arboretum, as Acer pictum var. mono.  He said break off a leaf and if its sap is milky white that's mono and so it was. Good thing as I always wanted it.  I dug three seedling and a friend three so two people happy.
