I am very curious to read about how different people use Japanese Maples in their landscape. I've seen a lot of pictures in this forum and it looks like most people tend to plant them under eaves for the shade and protection from the wind, but I've also seen people plant them on slopes, in raised planters, etc. For those of you that have multiple JMs where do you put them all? Do you have very large yards? Do you keep them in pots? Have you done anything to make your yard more JM friendly than it was?
I live in a suburban neighborhood and my lot size is only about .20/acre and most of it is full sun. I have 6 JMs right now and only one of them is actually in the ground (under one of those handy, shady eaves). The rest are in pots where they will stay until some of my other trees have matured to the point of providing significant shelter.
