Aka Kawa Hime 10/17/07
Aka Kawa Hime is a semi-dwarf form of Sangu Kaku and is grown to some degree for its red stems. In spring it's yellow-green, and in fall one sees gold, red and yellow colors.
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.
