Ueno Homare 4/8/07
Ueno Homare and Ueno Yama provide the truest light yellow colors to my spring garden. Both are splendid plants. The main difference in my garden is that Ueno Yama has larger leaves than Ueno Homare. When adjusted for scale, though, the leaves are practically identical.
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.
