Beni Shidare 10/20/06
Beni Shidare means "red cascading" and it's a deeply red pendulous dissectum. It has a mounding form and can get big (up to 5 meters high and 6 meters wide). It's bronze in the summertime. I'll post more on this cultivar as I learn more. It's new to my 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.
