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.
Toyama Nishiki is one of my favorites. I have two of them, each exhibiting a different style. One variegated towards gold while the other tends towards mauve. Both are beautiful. These are jewel box sorts of trees, with twisting branches, an overall tidy and neat tree-like appearance even when small, and a spectacular gold/cream color in the fall that makes them glow in the garden. This is a "must have" for the garden.
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.
