Jiro Shidare 5/16/07
Jiro Shidare is mostly green, with new growth a lighter green, but the most interesting thing about it is its totally cascading habit. It's perfect for a large and high pot or a steep slope.
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.
