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.
Beni Tsukasa is not easy to find, but it's worth the search. In the spring, it leafs out in a gorgeous delicate coral-salmon color, gradually lightening to a pale butter color and then to green for summer. In the fall it again takes on the coral and salmon tones, but these are more intense than the spring colors. This is a gorgeous plant and well worth acquiring.
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.
