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.
A strong-growing
cultivar similar to 'Garnet', but with a more upright habit. Wine-red
leaves hold their color well in summer and are described as sturdier
and more substantial than most laceleafs. May ultimately reach 10',
and somewhat wider. Vertrees recounts that the name derives from the
Japanese names for an old variety of rice plant that turns crimson in
the fall, along with 'shidare', which means 'cascading'.
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.
