Mr.Yano's Maple Garden
I visited Mr. Yano's Garden on May 5, 2006.
Mr. Yano is not only a great collector of maples but also a great maple-grower.
In his large amount of cultivated maples there were some seedling
whose
seed I gave him several years before.
I also cultivated them similarly,
but
his growing condition seemed quite good and different from my way.
I realized his cultivating art is really great.
Let me show you some cases big difference of maple growing condition is observed.

Acer barbatum, included group of sugar maple

Acer maximowiczii similar to Acer micranthum

Acer koreanum, also similar to Acer micranthum

Acer spicatum from North America, group
of Acer ukurunduense

Acer glabrum from North America, group of Acer aidzuense

Acer tegmentosum x pennsylvanicum hybrid species of 'White
Tigress'
