Kamagata 10/18/06
Kamagata is an interesting dwarf in winter with its densely-branched roundish shape. In spring the fresh spring green leaves are tinged with red at the margins, and in the fall you will be treated to reds, oranges and yellows. This dwarf is very neat and tidy in habit and is hardy. This photo (taken October 18, 2006) shows the fall colors in the semi-shaded area in which the tree lives.
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.
