Goshiki Shidare 5/20/06

This is one of my favorite Japanese maples. Goshiki Shidare exhibits a delicate and subtle cream-colored variegation in the spring, and in the fall the colors turn vivid yellow-gold. If you are lucky enough (as I am) to have this gorgeous tree in a special place given to back-lighting, it will light up the entire area. This is a slow-growing tidy jewel-box of a tree.
