Ueno Yama

Ueno is a park in Tokyo, set on a hill or Yama. Ueno Homare essentially refers to the pride of Ueno. Some refer to these two as the same cultivar. I maintain them as separate for now. This is a beautiful cultivar with delicious orange tones with a blazing red edge with nice frilly edges. This matures to yellow green, morphing into bright oranges and reds for Fall. For a wonderful discussion of Ueno Park, take a look at Mr. Maple's discussion of this cultivar.
