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.
I normally think of highly variegated trees as a bit fragile, but not in this case. Eskimo Sunset tests the limits of variegation with huge leaves and a robust nature that allow it to do well even in the intense summer sun and heat of southern Oregon. It's quite spectacular and requires more than normal space to grow.
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.
