Acer palmatum "Aoshime-no-uchi". Photo taken 25 Oct 2007 at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum , Gloucestershire , U.K. In 2005, an expansion of the Maple collection started with an initial planting of 100 Japanese Maples, to mark the centenary of the Rotary Club. This is one of those trees.
Re: Acer palmatum "Aoshime-no-uchi" Great picture! Can you tell me the difference between 'Aoshime no uchi' and 'Aoshime no uchi shidare'? I am a little stumped on this one. Thanks!!! :)
Re: Acer palmatum "Aoshime-no-uchi" Consulted our reference books and found the answer in "Maples for Gardens",by the van Gelderens.Shidare apparently means ;branches pendulous.Hope this helps. Luddite
