My collection of Japanese maples. Click on the photo to enlarge. If you want to view a specific cultivar, enter its name in the search feature in the upper left corner.
This photo does not in the least do justice to this beautiful and rare plant. I've been told I have the only Beni Kosade in a private garden, and I'll replace this photo in a couple months when I see the new spring color on this beauty. It has an intense pink color with just a hint of blue, not like any color I've seen before in the maple garden. It stands out and demands a prominent place in the landscape.
No, I've never been to Japan, but if I do visit that country I'll most certainly go to the Tsukasa nursery. The plants shown in the Yano book (often featuring gorgeous varietals from Tsukasa) are out of this world, and I have my sights of several of them already.
After removing a thicket from a canyon behind our home in 2003, we started learning about Japanese maples, became obsessed by them, and now have about 400 different varieties of Japanese maples. Each year we find new and wonderful varieties, meet other maple collectors and growers, and our garden has become a sensation.

Wow what a collection! Have you been to the Tsukasa nursery in Japan picking up are specimans?
