I have visited this forum occasionally in the past. I would like to try a few more Japanese Maples here in the Piney Woods of NE Texas, but would like some with green or gold/green leaf color.

We have 2 Bloodgoods, one that is 9 years in the ground and one transplanted from another landscape (in the heat of August) two years ago. We have a seedling from a friend's laceleaf (she moved it to Texas from Maryland) and another seedling I bought about 5 years ago at the Stephen F Austin State University MAST Arboretum Plant Gala sale.

We have very large old oaks around the garden and the Japanese Maples seem to like the environment.

I'd like to know if other folks here in the South have had success growing either Sango (Sangu??) Kaku or Snake Bark Maple, or, even more better would be a Fern-Leaf Full Moon Maple.

This first pic is of the 9 year-in-the-ground tree
