ICNCP Name: 'Shōreki-ji'

Japanese Maple Classification: 
Palmatum Group

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

Shohrei-ki-ji (Esveld) Available in the trade, but origin uncertain. We have corrected the Esveld rōmaji for compliance, and made the association with the famous Shōreki-ji, a famous Heian Era Temple established in 942 CE. The temple 正暦寺, in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture, also accepts guests for retreats. Apparently Shonei-ki-ji is a synonym. (ED)
