Ao Shimi no Uchi 5/7/06
Ao Shimi No Uchi is a roundish bushy tree, wider than it is high, and a very nice specimen from the linearilobum group. Spring color is a light yellowish-green followed by medium green in summer and yellow/gold in autumn. It's a lovely rather slow-growing tree.
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.
