What a coincidence,I just saw a A. sikokianum in the Botanical Garden at
Edinburgh. (or just the label) What a wonderful garden but just a few weeks
too early. The rhodie collection is budded and about ready to burst. But
still a beautiful garden in it's winter atire. Not much will grow around a
maple tree with its chokeing roots.
