Certainly a favorite of mine. The leaves unfurl in normal fashion, and once the leaves are out the variegation begins. It's a fascinating process.
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.
