If cost was not an issue You had the perfect conditions You had the perfect location Then what would be YOUR DREAM JAPANESE MAPLE?[/B] To start the ball rolling, mine would be 'Beni Maiko' Look forward to hearing all your favourite maples. Cheers Mountain.
It seems to me that your question is already covered in this recent thread: http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=53849 Gomero
good thread suggest Gomero! however yes Beni Maiko is good choise for start,after Osakazuki,Seryu,Sango kaku..classic cultivar for start is better ...after Geisha rubescens Summer snow ,rubescens Millecent,Orange dream.. (just for fun) ..maples are dangerous for mind!!start with one ,finish with 300 ..attention!! :-))) ciao and welcome
