I’m new to all of this, got this cultivar last month and repotted. It’s been a couple of nights that the temperatures dropped to 34-36F. I’m impressed how tough this little thing is. I hope to make through the first winter season.

Hi everyone. Just showing off a bit even though there isn't much to show yet, but I'm excited anyway. I recently got an Acer shirasawanum 'Moonrise', my fourth Japanese maple ever and the first one in quite a while. After some international travel from the Netherlands to South Africa she's taking a bit of a break from growing, lost a few leaves and is hopefully currently gathering her strength for new leaves and growth. 26 days since planting, and she will be the focal point of the little terrace area.

Leaves will probably drop next week. I love this beautiful GGW I have been raising from a 1gal.
