Dogwood 5/9/06
When one collects a really large group of maples, it's always a challenge to find other species of plants that will complement the maple theme and enhance but not overpower a lovely landscape. Dogwoods fit the bill nicely, along with a few others.
Hi Barbara, I have a similar collection, about 250 taxons of acer, and have the same concerns as you: what to place among maples. I have a lot of recent Japanese and European cultivars that you may be interested in. Can we exchange our lists?, my pseudo is Gomero (at UBC maples forum for example) Kind regards
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.
