Does this plant give fertile flowers or seeds?
I searched in the internet and couldn't find many things.
So basicly my question is: Can I get seeds from Osakazuki japanese Maple ?

Question from
vincent
I have recently bought a two foot shrub and was wondering if it will be ok in a semi sheltered spot. I did not realise that it had to be planted in a sheltered location until i got it home.(I`m new to this gardening business!)

This is a stunning Acer palmatum, with a rounded stocky habit. Young bronze/ green foliage working well in combination with oranges and yellows. Combine with Hakonechola and Fargesia 'Simba' for a compact space and a tropical look. Mine tends to be one of the last to colour in the autumn and when it does it is a hot rod red extravaganza!
