My collection of Japanese maples. Click on the photo to enlarge. If you want to view a specific cultivar, enter its name in the search feature in the upper left corner.
Butterfly is a popular tree, but frankly I think it's a bit overrated. It tends to get a bit twiggy and consequently lots of pruning is required. Still, it's an attractive upright tree and provides some lightness to the garden with its white/cream and green leaves.
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.
