5 out of 5 stars One of the most expensive books I have ever owned...   June 15, 2008
If you want to know about Japanese Maples this is the first book to buy. It is full of great information and wonderful pictures that cover the gamut of all the important cultivars. Well bound and tough as a reference book needs to be. But beware. This book can hook you, and you may, as I did, wind up spending several thousand dollars on these wonderful plants!


4 out of 5 stars Book Titled "Japanese Maples"   November 3, 2007
This is a great book with excellent pictorials and information on Japanese Maples. I would highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars A must have   August 31, 2007
Though I have not digested the entire volume yet, I am constantly consulting its pages. As a fairly novice collector of these plants, I have found this book to be indespinsable. The introduction of new cultivars as well as many new photographs make volume three a superior reference.

A very informed and illustrated book with almost every 300+ cultivar imaginable. Also gives cultivar no longer cultivated, with all the names of cultivar including many misnames used and cultivar which have been produced which are not confirmed or are instable. The book has a detail list of species in brief form for quick reference when planting of considering cultivar.I look forward to the updated with the newer cultivar.
The only thing lacking is more detail on growing and producing cultivar. eg.grafting,cutting, and pruning, etc which you have to get from other texts.

THE reference book on Japanese maples. Excellent information and pictures. Very usual for my purposes in selecting trees to fit my property and conditions.
