Ornatum 5/9/06
Ornatum is a dissectum well-known for its gorgeous strawberry-red spring color, green in summer, and vibrant red in the autumn. Though it's somewhat out of fashion for having been around so long, it's a lovely cultivar.
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.
