Acer takisinense

I found the name "Acer takisinense" in the catalogue of the "Arboretum des Barres".

I didn't find any info on the web on a maple with this name, has anyone heard of it?...

Here's the link to their catalogue (they also mention 'Senkaki' as a synonym for 'Osakazuki'...):

Do you think they were referring to

Acer pseudosieboldianum ssp. takesimense ?

 

Well, that seems a very good guess: I'll ask them ;°)

This arboretum is about 1 hour from where I live, I've never been there, but I will.

 

I haven't been either, but it's meant to be very good. Didn't realize it was so close to you.

Years ago a friend who is a well known garden designer recommended the quality of the plants available, but I can't speak to it now. They certainly have some other maple names wrong, but that's common enough in France (Acer trifidum, anyone?)
