Koto Maru 5/20/06
Koto Maru is interesting because of its beautiful deep green color and the fact that each leaf is a slightly different shape from the others. I find it a finicky plant, good one year and not the next, even though it is well-taken care of.
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.
