Heptalobum Rubrum 10/17/07
Vertrees/Gregory say this is an old Dutch cultivar. Though I enjoyed it in spring and summer, I wasn't prepared for the fabulous fall yellow/red colors which I think are brilliant.
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.
