Very nice selection...I have been eyeing up an Orange Dream for a while...I have a question about your Katsura, I noticed mine had quite a bit of die back on the top branches...anything similar for you? It was an especially cold winter here.

Will,
Some of my favorite maples. The Acer palmatum 'Johnnies Pink' has an unusual look. I have heard of the plant but this is the first picture. It really stands out. Are the stems as pastel as the picture seems to indicate?

gardenj, I've had trouble occasionally with Katsura and Ueno Yama, a similar cultivar that leafs out early, but I haven't had any deaths. They seem to 'frost burn' from cool spring weather pretty easily and die back has happened before so yours doesn't sound so out of the ordinary.

ghg, this isn't a very good picture of the Johnnies Pink though it is a bright pink, not purple toned and a very unusual color for maples, even compared to some others called pink.
