This tree has gone from being a seedling to having its own light as a landscaping feature.

FREMONT, CA — Terry Booras nurtured this Japanese Maple tree for more than a decade before it finally became a star attraction at his home.

It started as a seedling in his yard and was transplanted from pot to pot as it grew for more than 15 years. Finally, when Terry re-landscaped part of his yard, the tree was planted in the ground as a focal point.

Terry praises Japanese Maple trees for their year-round beauty.
