Davidsans Japanese Maples

Another recent Japanese introduction from 1994.It is a cultivar that came from one of my all time favorites, Toyama nishiki. Yano considers this one of the most spectacular cultivar ever. As with the Toyama it is a bit touchy and need mostly shade in summer heat . Gregory who worked on Vertrees 3rd addition lists it as a tweener between a matsumurae and a dissectum . He also sees it as more green/white like Toyama. The photo in Yano's book looks definitely like a dissectum and plenty of red in light and dark variations so i have placed it as such.
