    Hi all

    I have recently acquired a beautiful amber ghost Acer here in the UK. I am wondering what sun tolerance they have as I am running out of space in my garden.
    I know morning sun and afternoon shade is preferred but my other Acers are planted here.

    looking for lived experience and recommendation please.

    According to MrMaple, it is quite sun tolerant. They mentioned this in their podcast I believe, and it struck me as interesting, so my mind for once decided not to forget about something :)

    I'm in the US, zone 6b, New England and mine is sun tolerate. I found, the more sun, the darker the leaves

    Interesting thank you - I have located mine where it will get morning sun until around 12pm then shade and possibly a bit of evening sun so should be ok.
