Editorial & Society News

As always we have some interesting articles for you covering a range of diff erent subjects. The late Peter Gregory's profi le of Acer velutinum starts the articles and is followed in turn by various other maple related articles. Bill gives us an update from North America which is both informative and interesting. Alan's article gives us an insight into the Linearilobum group and is accompanied by his usual high quality images. Roy Lancaster gives us an insight into his experiences of seeing maples in the wild. I wonder just how many will still be growing in the places that he saw them. This is followed by a short summary of the Newsletter questionnaire. One thing that clearly came out of that was the desire to have a news/letters page in the newsletter. This does however mean that I need material for it, so get writing as we shall be starting that in the next edition.
Then Anthony Aiello gives us a great insight into maple cultivation in the Delaware Valley and this is followed by part one of a three part series on some of the historic cultivars of Acer platanoides. If you are like me I tend to think more about Acer palmatum when someone starts to talk about maple cultivars so these articles have been a real eye opener!
