okay I asked about these japanese maples and was told to either plant in the ground or in a grow box and let them grow so I made myself a big grow box out of some left over fencing.
From left to right are: the 2 japanese maples I had posted about wanting advice then another japanese maple thats about 30 inches tall or so and in one of my smaller spots is a pine I rescued from a weedeater. Notice there is an empty spot there. ANY DONATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED!!
The openings for the 3 larger spots are 14x14 and the smaller 2 are 7x7 over all about 20 minutes work and a low cost of left over material from my fence.
