Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) is viewed as a symbol of elegance, beauty, grace, peace and serenity. It also has an essence of tastefulness, mood and feeling. With its turning colors and falling leaves in the fall, it has been a popular subject of Japanese art, poetry and literature for thousands of years.
They provide beauty and charm to any garden (especially the Japanese garden) or landscape setting.

I love Japanese Maples and have planted quite a few of them around my house over the years.

ReplyDeleteAll of the maple trees are amazingly beautiful! They do have their distinctive foliage patterns that are a show & an attraction to a garden setting. I came down to see my beautiful maple trees in the garden after admiring your own! It never occurred to me that maple trees can be planted in gallon containers and will still hold its unique shape. /LT
