Beni Kawa 10/17/07
Beni Kawa is mostly known for its colorful red stems in the winter, even better color than Sango Kaku. Leaf color is green in spring and summer, but turns a lovely yellow-gold in autumn.
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.
