Ao Kanzashi 4/2/07
Ao Kanzashi's spring leaves are a very pale green, a fresh color that stands out in the garden. It's a very tidy plant, holding its leaves close to stems and branches so even when leafed out one can still clearly make out the structure of the 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.
