    This one is on my wish list, you are very fortunate to have such fantastic maple nurseries in the US D.
    It looks a very healthy tree, I will watch this thread with great interest.

    Hi D. It is pretty nice I must say. Most of the nurserymen are pretty friendly/open to talk about plants. This one came from Crispin Silva who found it and I also decided to get a few other of his creations that I will be posting.

    I hope this one makes it across the pond so you can cross it off your list. Until then I will try to fulfill your need with pics.

    You could walk right past this at a nursery, but only a few know how it turns out. So it's Shhhhhhh from me. Lol.

    I wanted to show more of the variation in of Mystic Mikawa colors. Very different color with very similar sun exposure. One I purchased this winter and the pinkish red one I've had for 2 seasons now.
