Octopus 10/17/07
Like its name suggests, Octopus tends to grow horizontally. This cultivar has great color all year: pinkish-red in spring, orangish-red with overlays of green in summer, and bright red in the fall.
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.
