This dissectum surprised us. It was green in the spring, but then late spring some of the leaves turned bright red. (We saw the same phenomenon in Watnong and Trompenburg.) Ours has been a slow grower, and it has a nice weeping/off center habit.
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.
