These ornamental trees display beautiful foliage in the spring, summer and fall.
Every year, Jim Gibbs adds more to the collection. Some are propagated from seedlings in the Gardens and others are select cultivars, like ‘Ryusen,’ which is a weeping form that turns brilliant shades of orange and red in late autumn.
A favorite selection that offers interest in every season is Acer palmatum‘Sango-kaku,’ also known as the coral bark Japanese Maple for its coral colored bark, especially evident on new growth.
