Shanghai botanic garden was founded at a site for tree cultivation
in1974.
As sub gardens,
there are divisions for ferns, needle-leaf trees, Magnolia,
Paeonia, Rhododendron,
roses, maples,
Osmanthus, and bamboo.
On June 30, 2004, I was able to
visit Shanghai botanic garden for 40 minutes.
Here you can see many kinds of cultivars of Japanese maples,
so you would
feel as if you were in Japanese garden.
It is a pity that
these trees don't have their name plates.
So, it is difficult for me to
identify
these species of maples.
Upper : Acer oliverianum Pax, Lower : What is this ?
It will be one of members of Acer diabolicum from Japanese.
