I must admit I do love the Jap. Maples. Thank goodness my climate allows me to grow them. Here is a pic of my Acer pseudosieboldianum...a Jap. Maple look-alike that is much hardier. The fall colour is so different from the typical Jap. Maples. As you can see it is MUCH too close to the house but I'm running out of space! I actually picked up this maple in Calgary back in 1999. It was about 2 feet tall. Mind you, that maple is not hardy in Calgary, yet was being sold in their nurseries!
