More Maples than you could ever dream of

Post by Luke308 »

Just found this website which has great photos and details about lots of different species and cultivars of the Acer genus. I could spend hours on this site. I recommend going to the "more Maples" section and the "Maples on the move" section. I haven't even skimmed the rest yet

Apparently my cousin lives in the same building as Sam Newman, where they have a great view of traffic. Told her we also get cars on our road, occasionally, but can't see them from the house..
