This cultivar is rare in the U.S. and it is delicate, requiring special care. This summer photo taken in July shows how this tree continues to hold interest, a difficult job considering the wildly vivid spring color.
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.
