Beni Kosade 5/5/07
My Beni Kosade is very late leafing out, takes a long time doing so, but the color is worth waiting for: Intense pink which lasts and lasts. It reminds me of Geisha in some ways, i.e., taking a long time to leaf out and then showing great color.
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.
