They Weep but are Never Sad: the Ryusan Japanese Maple

A photo posted by Mary Palmer Dargan (@mpdargan)

Are you a fan of the greenery surrounding these steps?

These trees are perfect for any garden size. It’s the Ryusen Japanese Maple, known for its weeping effect and versatile branches. Not into adding something that takes a lot of work? The Ryusen is low maintenance as well!

Admire the beauty beside and below Nathalie (our in-action model here). She’s taking a stroll on 4″ tall steps.
