Osakazuki is one of my favorite cultivars. I love the shape and color of the leaves, even - or perhaps especially - in the summertime. I've attached a few pictures below. The first two show its summer green. The last one shows its autumn red. (The red leaves in the background of the first shot are from A. palmatum `Moonfire'.)

I haven't tried it as bonsai material, yet, though. I'll be interested to see how it goes for you.

Thanks for tipping me off to Ichigyoji. Sounds like a great cultivar. I'll be on the lookout for that one.


Best wishes,
Carl
