I’m not a huge fan of Japanese maples
I know, shoot me.
But they are just so obvious and easy and don’t do a whole lot for me. Although today at Roger Reynolds Nursery in Menlo Park, I came across their grove of maples and almost thought about buying one. The serrated leaves, cool canopy, moss covered 24″ box ready to be cracked open and planted … looked like it needed a home. I walked away, drawn to the espalier pears, but figured I should re-examine my maple hesistation.
