Calico 5/4/07
Calico in the spring is one of the best: lovely yellow-green leaves tinged with red, the color holding for quite a long time. I have it paired with Katsura in my garden, to good effect.
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.
