Japanese Maple Tree

For five or six years we've had two half whiskey barrels on the front patio. They have hosted various plants: flower bulbs, mums and day lillies. That all changed recently. We have talked about how interesting Japanese Maple trees are for years. So now we have two and with some luck these will be around for a really long time and get better and better. We'll have to learn how to care and encourage these trees but they should add an interesting feature to the front patio.
