Dax,

I am not familiar with this cultivar. Are there imposters? Dendo has some nice maples.

Hey Dax, Nice photo. I remember there was some controversy about this cultivar when i had first heard of it a few years ago. In the early stage of leafing out it looks similar to ap 'Mikawa Yatsubusa'. I read on UBC that people were buying a dwarf from Greers that was sold as tatoo but was something else. I wonder if that ever got settled out....AL

Hi Keith, there is one imposter and then the real 'Tattoo'. If you look at the thread on UBC, Dennis says the same thing basically and states that after he had the incorrect plant, he (eventually) got wood of the correct 'Tattoo'. So if you want the real Tattoo, he has it.

AL, the story goes that no-one commented if Greers has the correct plant (yet). That's all I know at this point.

Dax,

thanks for the info. I looked into the UBC thread. Another rare cultivar to acquire.
