I thought you guys might enjoy seeing a maple I bought last weekend. It is the most beautiful leaf I have ever seen. It is not a Japanese maple though. It is zoned for 4 to 8, but I am hoping it does OK in my zone.
Your favorite japanese maples for California?
How amazingly wonderful! I'm happy for you. The leaves are beautiful.
I've got an e-mail into mountain maples to ask about the smallest cultivars. We'll see what they say.
I asked my Japanese Maple man about seedling maples and he said that they are like snowflakes, no two are alike.
I did buy a dwarf, Beni Fushigi - see what you did to me? It will only get six feet tall at maturity. A bushy character with small leaves, it's bright red in the spring and the fall. It had been in the sun so was red and green, but in as much shade as it gets will probably turn greener. I love the form.

A very pretty one, Doss.
Tyler's Carlmont Nursery in Belmont specializes in Japanese Maples and has a really nice selection. That's where I get all of mine. There's just too many varieties to choose from...I'm gonna have to mortgage the house...again ;o)~
