At first I thought it was Peter Lik's Infinity Tree. Japanese maples are awesome. Great shot!

Now that’s a good climbing tree

I think these trees are only a few feet tall.

Any relation to arbutus? Gorgeous.

I believe I have a photo of that same tree from about 15 years ago.

No, that’s a Tim Burton tree

Japanese Garden, and it is a LOT smaller than one would expect. When/if it changes, there's a line of photographers and only 15min each to shoot it.

Just got stuck in traffic near there. Last sunny day of the year I suppose.

Is this the tree at Kubota Garden? At the far side of the garden on the hill?

I love how old trees like this look like river systems, it’s a really neat similarity

I thought this was the one by the pond at the Japanese garden in the Arboretum. I've been to Kubota too though so maybe I am confusing them
seekingadvice432 t1_iubwiet wrote
It's also on postcards and magazines and such all over the place. One of the most photographed trees

Weird, as soon as i saw it i saw a river delta as viewed from space
Cathi2222 OP t1_iuc2dt1 wrote
This is not the one in Portland that many think it is. Yes it is a Kubota Garden and no there is not a constant line of photographers there. Depends on the day and time and the weather. Beautiful spot
Cathi2222 OP t1_iuc2fe1 wrote
By the pond!
Cathi2222 OP t1_iuc2gc6 wrote
Definitely not. The ones in Portland are more well-known
Cathi2222 OP t1_iuc2hl7 wrote
This particular one is old and quite tall for a Japanese maple, I would say it’s about 9 feet.

Sadly that tree is only a few feet tall, and very delicate. You can see the ferns behind it for scale.

Gorgeous! As a current resident of Bremerton I sure do miss living in Seattle! I used to ride my bike from Ballard to the Japanese Garden, then drop down to the shore of Lake Washington and pedal to the 520, hitting up all the shoreline parks on the way and back. Seattle rocks for cycling, I had so much fun figuring out new loops for weekend coffee tours and so forth.
One of my favs was Ballard to the Ballard Locks, up to Discovery park, drop down Magnolia Blvd which had killer views of the Sound, West Seattle and Rainer (everything really plus it's miles long descent), hook onto the Elliot Bay Trail up to Second Ave to Pioneer Square, stop at some awesome coffee shop (can't remember names atm, stoned),
ascend China Town/International District into Central District then onto the excellent Broadway bike lanes into Capitol fucking Hill (my love, but my heart is in frelard) all the way down to that tea shop where
Broadway forks and have tea then drop the steep ass hill to the bridge overlooking Lake Union and Fremont/Wallingford or stay right on that cool winding road to Eastlake that goes past the BMX park under I-5 and the either route goes around the lake on the way to Fremont now it's time for beers at the Fremont Brewery! Yes now hit like 4 or 5 breweries and get home drunk! Fuck I miss those days goddamn I had so much fun in Seattle!

Different tree.
They are just normal mature dissectums.
The_Celtic_Chemist t1_iucloim wrote
It is but you'd be surprised by how small this tree is. I walked right past it in the Japanese Gardens because I figured it would be 2-5 times this size. If I remember right, I'm about as tall as this tree.

Someone’s climbing that tree. Fairies, maybe, but THAT is a tree made for climbing.

Doh, you're right! I mistook the tree for the Portland tree, because I was dumb and didn't read the post's title.

Oh good question. Maple syrup is made from the sap of sugar maples specifically, and the sap of other maples just aren’t sweet enough. This Japanese maple has sap, but it’s not likely to be harvested for syrup.

Damn... Wait.. you'd go from Ballard to Pioneer upto to Broadway, then snake all the way back to drink in Freemont all in a single day? I could see myself doing this with an ebike, but imagining this trek on a regular bike... Whoa.

Nope, none of the maples by the pond have this much space to themself. Used to work at the arboretum (WPA), love that place

Japanese maples are everywhere in the pnw, or at least the Puget sound region. There are countless varieties of them but you can usually identify them by the shape of their leaves.
