Beni Tsukasa 10/17/07
The color possibilities with Beni Tsukasa are endless. Mine leafs out in spring with a shrimp/peach color with some pale yellow; in summer it turns pink and red with some green; and in fall nearly anything can happen, though this last year it decided to go yellow.
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.
