Japanese Maple, 'arakawa'

I'm So envious. I can't grow the maple family tree in my area (Tropis). always ended tragically

Your jasmine almost makes up for it.

Apex is plenty strong, so I haven’t held back.

Thanks!

I enjoyed reading through this thread and seeing the progression over the years. My Arakawa’ has a long way to go.

All correct, started feeding a week or two after repotting.

Loved reading through this, amazing progression. Need to pick up an Arakawa, bark turns out so nice.
