Momiji and Tradition: The Japanese Love Affair with Autumn Maples

[@meggygurova7273]

Maples are amazing all year long. Love to see them wet after a rain or in the autumn frost. The flowers in the spring are always stunning.

Yes they are! Thanks for sharing.

I was looking for the one maple for my garden. Not an easy choice. Finally I found this perfect combination of green and orange in the form of Shishigashira.

Shishigashira can have some beautiful variations of color, Congrats! They sometimes tend to explode upwards though and might need a little pruning as it grows.

I walked alone in a forest of coral bark japanese maple trees somewhere near Kyoto in the 1950s. I will never forget the experience

Those type of memories last a lifetime. Glad you had that experience.
