In 1997, Japanese Maples was selected by the American Horticultural Society as one of the 75 Great American Garden Books.Peter Gregory, retired manager at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire, England, is the chairman and co-founder of the Maple Society and the editor of its journal. He has been involved with tree research, including maples, for more than five decades. He lives in the UK.
