Waterfall 10/17/07
This beautiful cascading dissectum is almost an icon in Japanese maple gardens because of its mushroom shape. It leafs out in spring with a light fresh green that it maintains through summer, going gold in the fall sometimes with a tint of pink or red.
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.
