A picture's worth a thousand words. Great shot for showing the full form, which is much stockier and fuller than I expected. This tree will work beautifully in a particular spot in my yard. thanks for the help.

Kent,

What is the little one in the wood box on the right side?

The one in the box is Acer palmatum 'Koto ito komachi'. It is a very hard tree to find. Believe it or not, I did a trunk chop on that tree this spring and now I am reworking the branches. I plan on keeping it in the box and I wanted it to have a thicker trunk in relation to the over all size. It is coming along nicely.

The color is wonderful, is the 'Koto ito komachi' a linearilobum or threadleaf? It is hard to tell from the picture and I did a google search and it seems companies that sell it don't know which it is. Any closer pictures?

P.S. Do you give tours of your garden? I live in KC and have admired your collection for some time now!

Yes it is a linearilobum and the garden is open for visitors. There is always someone going throught it. That is a big part of the fun.

Here's a shot of mine as it is in the process of changing into fall colors

It is hard to beat this cultivar for fall color.
