I like Villa Taranto because it is in the category of 'Witches Broom' maples. I find that mine in the Pacific NW turns to beautiful shades of gold, brown, rust, a lot of earth tones. I have submitted a couple photos of it as a 6 yr old tree. I like mixing up the maples from the Witches Broom category with the more spiderlike leaf with more traditional maples for effect. It is definitely a worthwhile tree to add to your collection if you can find one.

Villa Taranto has a beautiful layered effect. Spring foliage emerges greenish but then turns bright red. It should grow into a shrubby plant approximately 10 feet tall and wide. Because of it's structure, it should be easy to keep it that size.

Garberville, California
