Dwarf and semi-dwarf trees

A great many dwarf grafts failed this year. Cultivars marked 'Sold Out' will usually not be available until next year, but this year a few may be added in the next few weeks, and still others in September. Some cultivars may not be available some years, and will remain marked 'Sold Out'. We can't predict availability in advance.

Trees under 6' tall are generally regarded as dwarfs, and
semi-dwarfs could be as tall as 12-15'. This seems sensible
when you consider that some Japanese maple cultivars may
reach more than 30'. However, the size of a given cultivar is
often a matter of dispute. Read three books by experts and
visit three different nurseries, and you are likely to get half a
dozen different quotes as to the height of a given cultivar.
This makes a grouping by size somewhat arbitrary, but
those listed here as semi-dwarfs are generally of
small stature, suitable for smaller gardens.

Laceleafs are not listed in this group, nor are threadleafs,
although they may in some cases be smaller than some of
the semi-dwarfs that are.

Although most any cultivar is suitable for bonsai, dwarfs are
in great demand because they can look good sooner. Demand
has also increased as we have trended to toward smaller
gardens. A problem with great demand is that dwarfs grow
slower and offer less material for grafting. This may increase
their price and limit availability.
