Dad's Best 5/20/06
Introduced by Del Loucks, this lovely dissectum has very unusual greenish-bronze spring hues, and in the fall it's a glorious shiny bronze with red and green undertones. Del Loucks had a group of usual reddish dissectums he was growing, and his son identified this one as "Dad's Best."
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.
