Dogwood 10/18/06
Dogwoods in the fall are just wonderful, and the leaf color is kaleidoscopic. So a dogwood fits in well with the intense color of many of the maples surrounding it. In this very hot summer environment, the dogwoods also provide some needed shade to the maples close to them.
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.
