Sumi Nagashi 5/9/06
Sumi Nagashi looks, to me, like a small variety of Trompenburg. It has large purple/red leaves in the sring, green in summer and a vivid red in the autumn. The leaves are large compared to the rest of the plant, and the lobes tend to droop somewhat in habit.
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.
