Acer palmatum
Fjellheim
New
cultivars and larger sizes:
Many newly grafted cultivars are added to our list after they leaf out around
mid-April. Others, including small, rare, and hard to graft cultivars, are
added in September. Once a cultiver sells out, it remains so until the following
spring.
Maples ordered in summer may have burned leaves, and look bad, but this is only temporary. Still, spring and especially fall are far better times to ship and plant than summer. We'll delay shipments when temperatures exceed 90 F.
'Fjellheim' is
a dwarf Coral Bark, presumably named for
the nursery that introduced it. It's a dwarf of Sango Kaku, a
witch's broom (having tufted, small branches) that grows only
3-5', but is otherwise similar in all respects to its larger cousins,
though possibly with a little more orange in its fall coloration. The
main attraction of this and all Coral Bark types is the bright red
bark when bare in winter. Grows to 6-10'.
Orders
placed between mid-March and mid-June may take 3 weeks to ship. For faster
service, order in the fall, an excellent time to plant. We can ship in winter,
but read this to see if
it's a good idea for you.
