Re: acer Dissectum variegatum this plant is really beautiful. but I'm not sure is this name is proper. does Acer dissectum exist?
Re: acer Dissectum variegatum of course is palmatum Dissectum different to platanoides Dissectum; however this pics are in sub forum "acer palmatum cultivars"....
Re: acer Dissectum variegatum I am sure that Alex really means Acer amoenum var. matsumurae 'Dissectum variegatum'. According to Vertrees (2nd edition) it is distinguished from 'Toyama nishiki' and 'Beni shidare tricolor' by the lack of reds in the variegation. Gomero
Re: acer Dissectum variegatum Hi Alex, is it the one listed in Vertrees 2nd edition as A. palmatum dissectum variegatum, page 79, which van Gelderen refers to as A. p. 'Dissectum Variegatum' in "Maples of the World" , page 281 ? Nice tree.
Re: acer Dissectum variegatum yes ,the description in Maples of the world is corretc,the evident different to Goshiki shidare (in my garden for 4 years,died after one very dry, summer 2007)is the green color of the leaves, in d.Variegatum is ligth ,in Goshiki shidare is deep green;this is my osservation... ciao
