  1. The Japanese Red Maple Tree to me is one of the most beautiful trees ever… just the looks of the leaves and the bark something special 💝💞

  2. That is lovely idea. I can;t wait more regarding azaleas , rhododendrons, shrubs . It would be wonderful if maintenance lectures could follow. Many thanks!!!!

  3. I just cut down my 50 year old silver maple I hated that tree. I also have a very large and mature Japanese maple about twenty feet away. Probably the same age. That tree makes that back yard. Why couldn't the previous owner have planted two Japanese maples instead of just one?
