Japanese maple in Texas estate garden setting

About My Garden

A Private Collection of Rare & Exotic Trees

My private garden in North Texas began as a blank canvas with only a few mature trees. That space sparked a passion for Japanese maples that has defined the last four years of my life.

My approach is rooted in trial and adaptation. I began ground-planting these trees three years ago to see how they handle North Texas’s intense heat and challenging soils. I simply love collecting interesting varieties and watching them thrive (or not!) in my garden.

I love sharing these experiences with my local gardening community, so fellow Texas gardeners can feel confident growing unique, beautiful trees in their own yards.
