Sagara Nishiki 5/20/06
Sagara Nishiki has lovely variegations of light creamy yellow over pale green matte type leaves. In the spring (this photo was taken May 20, 2006) there is sometimes a hint of pink at the margins. Because of the variegation, this tree requires some shade to avoid leaf scorch.
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.
