| Hi All,
I've just aquired a 12' pot grown A. Palmatum (broad reddish leaves, possibly an atropurpureum), currently growing a 2.5 cu' tub. I'm about to transplant this into a much bigger (8.5 cu') planter to give it a bit of space. My issue is that the planter is pretty big, cubic, and unattractive. I'd like to add some trailing plants to soften in up a bit and provide an attractive bottom to what is quite a tall tree. I would like to keep this in a Japanese theme, so I'm after suggestions of what could work? I was considering Trachelospermum jasminoides variegatum, but i'm concerned it'll get too big / climb the Acer, although i could prune to keep this in control. Any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks. |

| As this is very much a solitary tree I would go for either moss or a look alike, that is a tiny groundcover like Leptinella xxx (Cotula xxx) e.g. "Minor", Sagina subulata or the like. Or even a small species of Thyme. |
