Acer palmatum 'Virdis'

#1 2011
I have three: one in the front (#1), one in back (#2), one far out back (#3). The one in back was purchased in 2002 from Greenview. It has suffered some dieback, is sited on a wetter spot. The one in front is on a drier spot and has done better. This year (2011) I had problems with squirrels climbing into the upper branches, bending them back and eating them. The top is a little bare this year. The one far out back was a pity purchase from Lowe's. It did really well over the winter, but in 2011 a large branch fell on it and took out a major portion. No problems with either virdis this year. Have seeds on #1.
