<P><STRONG>Discovered as a witches broom on a 100-year-old atropurpureum by Dick Wolf of Red Maple Nurseries in the early 1980's, this compact dwarf maple has become a favorite of maple enthusiasts and gardeners all over the world. Very upright when young 'Shaina' begins to widen with age. I have grown this wonderful little cultivar in full sun even in Decatur, GA although like most Japanese maples it would appreciate some break from the sun during the day in hotter climates. Leaves appear nice red in the spring, a true red and not the purple of some cultivars. Though reported to hold its color all summer long in some parts of the world, by mid summer in our climate leaves turn bronze or green but then new red growth appears at the branch tips. Fall color is a very attractive bright red.</STRONG></P>

첫댓글 멋집니다.
제 꿈이 꿈으로만 끝날지 모르지만, 갖가지 단풍나무를 수집해 보면 재미있겠다 하는 생각도 해 본 적 있습니다.
멋진 단풍이 환상적입니다.
아담하게 자라나 봅니다. 정원같은데 심으면 딱이겠습니다.
이건 좋습니다. 근데 시간이 오래 걸려 애먹을 것 같아요.
간단하지요. 청단풍 큰놈한테 가지좀 내놓고 고접하면요.ㅎ 어디에 있나 추적이 안되는게 문제네요.
@이주일 그렇긴 한데요. 전 3번 사진이 젤 맘에 들어요.
