| Acer palmatum 'Jet Black' |
This past spring I received a letter from a maple collector seeking out Acer palmatum 'Jet Black'
Wow – in her eighties – and still with a "few years to enjoy." Suddenly she became my favorite customer so we shipped her a tree.
I guess I became her favorite nurseryman, and I didn't have to work very hard to do so. Perhaps I can visit her one day, even though she lives 10-12 hours away by car, and we can sip tea amongst her maples. The wonderful Gales of the world help me to maintain a positive outlook, and I'm pleased that my career has made at least one old lady happy. Thank you dear.
Gale comes up every spring and goes thru Buchholz Nursery order. She said she keeps most of them in pots. Beautiful garden. I'm glad she got her special maple. Scott Pond & Garden
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. A collector rewarded for her loyalty and attention to her individual plants. Makes a world class garden through the simple joy of collecting. Hats off to the collector and to Buchholz for the kind act of recognition.
