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.
At first I wasn't a fan of Orangeola: I thought it was too common to be special. And indeed in the first 2 years in our garden, it didn't do much to disprove my perception. But this last year, WHOA, in the autumn these Orangeolas just put out the charm. Their wonderful mushroom shape and great fall color (orange and red) made me appreciate this beauty as never before. Especially in late afternoon light, they almost appear to glow. They are special.
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.
