My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help choosing small japanese maple

13 years ago

Hello everyone,
I am wanting to plant a Dwarf Japanese maple in our courtyard, and would like some advice or opinions.
We have three Japanese maples now...
1 Blood good
1 Crimson queen lace leaf
1 Fire glow

I am looking for something with light green leaves, nice bark for the winter, but stays rather small...no more than 6 ft. tall.
So far I am considering...
Acer Ukon, Hoshi Kuzu, and Winter flame.
It will get afternoon shade and I am in Missouri.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated
