Huh? You know, the "other" Beatle. Wrote "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun." Great guitar player, great singer, great songwriter, just happened to be in a band where the best he could ever hope for was "to show." Well, how about Acer mandschuricum? Here is an absolutely great plant. Great form, great foliage, great fall color, but the only people who will ever grow it are those who've already got Acer griseum and Acer triflorum and still have a little room. Durn shame, because it is such a fine maple.
