This one is my favorite tree of all. It doesn't turn any great colors, but it's just lovely in every way. Everyone loves to sit under it in the summer. It was sold to me as a "seedling" japanese Maple but it's a more weeping form than my A. Palmatums. This tree has been in the ground for about 30 years and is about 15 feet tall. I do have a lot of "seedlings". I could try to send you a couple - I have to pull them anyway, but you'd have to wait a few years to see results. :-)

Lilystorm, you live right next door. You should come see yourself. Roger Reynolds Nursery in Atherton has a great Japanese Maple man and they carry a lot of different types. Want to take a short road trip? Maybe not as many as Yamagamis. But we could make an appointment with the tree man.
