This is such a gorgeous cultivar that the only problem is that it doesn't hold its unusual color longer, as one would like. In the spring it leafs out pink/cream, later turning pale butter yellow, and it's a lovely tree.
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.
