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.

Japanese Maple substitute?

19 years ago

Can anyone recommend a substitute for Japanese Maple, that would be hardy in zone 3? I was on the east coast a couple weeks ago, and saw some of these. I love them! Now only the colors, but the shape of the leaves too.

But I have to say my favorite part about them is the skeleton! I love the twisty curly shape of the trunk and the branches! I would love to find something similar for winter interest here in the nort land!

Thanks

Jenny P
