Cutleaf Japanese Maple (67.9KB)Cutleaf Japanese Maple (Acer Palmatum):  This specific tree was originally brought from Japan in about 1900. It stands where the office of John Herbst, a local landscaper, stood until the 1980's. The property was purchased by a developer around 1990; neighbors and friends were able to preserve the tree, despite plans to remove it. It is named for its leaves which resemble the palm of the hand with the fingers spread. Superb color in fall.  apd_filigree.jpg (46308 bytes)
