The lacy leaves and wandering branches of a Japanese maple lend drama to the grounds of the Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina. Built in 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt, the Biltmore is the largest private residence in the United States and includes more than 75 acres (30 hectares) of manicured gardens.
日本槭樹的花邊葉子和蜿蜒的樹枝給比爾特莫爾莊園的庭園增添了戲劇性的效果。這座莊園位于北卡羅來納州阿什維爾城附近。1895年,喬治•華盛頓•范德比爾特建造了這座莊園。比爾特莫爾莊園是美國最大的私人住宅,其中包括75英畝多(約30公頃)修剪整齊的花園。
