my friend Laura gave me a Japanese maple as a tiny sapling for Mothers day one year. I felt it was too young to plant in the ground so I nourished it in a bigger pot, watered it, talked to it, and turned it once a week so that the sun could take care of it on both ends. After two years of growing it in a pot, it now has a place in my garden. it's doing great and I tell it all the time how beautiful it is and how happy I am to have it with me.
I guess I should start calling it a she, instead of it. She's a gorgeous red head, with strong limbs and she brings me much joy.
