Pendulum Julian 10/17/07
As the name suggests, this is a pendulous grower that leafs out in the spring bronze-green, going dark purple-red in summer. This photo shows the changing of fall color to an intense crimson-orange.
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.
