In Autumn the Absolutely amazing scarlet red autumn tones endure for weeks , introduced here by Arnold Teese from John Vertrees USA ... Arnold Teese was instrumental in collating a magnificent Japanese Maple Collection @ Yamina Rare Plants ... The nursery started in the 1950s and Dad through endless old school written/posted correspondence, created an amazing network of Plantsmen across the globe ... People like Sir Harold Hillier in the UK , Wada in Japan , Vertrees in USA , the Director of Shanghai botanical gardens Wang Dajun was also another personal friend , Arboreta and Botanical Gardens & Private Collectors & Nursermen all spread knowledge & plants around the globe ... Many of these plant legends stayed at our home as a child and only as I grew older I realised the priceless privilege this experience afforded me In my steep learning curve of the plant kingdom ... This is all long gone now , due to our strict quarantine regime , plants could originally be imported here for resale ... Dad imported many significant species & Cultivars as did many before him and more recently more purely commercial cultivars due to ensuing costs ...Family: Sapindaceae.
