@RJG Why is Greg so bad at identifying Japanese maples? It always thinks itās marijuana š Ok ok I guess the Shishigashira looks a little bit like marijuana. Are there any plans on adding cultivars, especially for care of JMs, sunlight, soil type, and watering can vary a great deal between the different varieties.

Not as upright and straight backed as it was. Leaves limp and turning green. Not quite as happy as it was 6 weeks ago, although still growing. #JapaneseMaple
