Learn about Asian Maples with John Miyazaki

Picture an “Asian maple,” and chances are that you’ll think of a delicate red-leafed tree from Japan. And you wouldn’t be incorrect.

However, there are hundreds of varieties of what most people recognize as “Japanese maples,” coming in all shapes, colors, and sizes, and those represent just a fraction of the more than 20 species native to Japan alone.

Asia is a huge continent, and some estimates place the number of species originating there near 100. Many of them are worthy landscape plants, and fortunately for us, there is no shortage of those that can be grown here.

In our seminar, we’ll explore the diversity of maples from temperate regions of east Asia, and tips for growing them in our area.
