Think of the form of the Japanese Maple , as very much the same form you would see in the movements of a Classical Dancer….this is what l learned from Asia Pacific Garden

Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful ❤. I just started my Japanese maple collection. I have 4 purchased over the last 2 years and bought an additional 6 over this Thanksgiving. I will definitely need to hire someone to do the pruning. 😊
