| Japanese Maple(Acer palmatum), Oshio Beni in spring 2012. |
This one is around 12 years old, around 8ft tall/wide and very lightly pruned. It's growing in full sun in humid zone 6b. After mid summer the leaves do turn bronze but I think thats due to the nature of the tree and not the fact that its in full sun. If I had to plant again, I may go up to 4-5 hour sun as opposed to all day.
I bought this in 2006 in a 7(or 10?)G container from Lowes(shown below) for $20 as someone had returned it after digging it up and the root system was disturbed. I have transplanted relatively large maples (6-7 ft) after 1-2 year in ground without issues and this didn't look bad. I planted it in ground in Sept 2006. Shots from previous years showing yearly growth:
