One of the first plants we ever put in the ground, when we purchased the first piece of land that would become JLBG, was the red-twigged Japanese maple, Acer palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’. It didn’t take long before the red no longer showed on the branches, and while we were quite disappointed, we allowed the specimen to remain. Today, that 39 year old specimen is pictured below, showing off it’s lovely gold fall leaf color. Our plant measure well over 30′ tall x 30′ wide.
