Lovett (acer japonicum) 5/10/07
This japonicum is fairly bushy with a pretty rounded top. The newest leaves are a lighter green than the older ones. It's green in spring and summer, with lots of color in the fall.
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.
