Irish Lace
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.
Sure and it must be from extreme western Japan then, begorra. The interesting thing about this tree is that, although it is basically a green laceleaf, its new growth is bright pink. As the leaves mature, they become lime green, but the new growth, and thus the pink, continues throughout the summer, against the green background. The older green leaves can also have pink or bronze tips. The shrub can become dense and full, but is quite small, to around 3'. Fall colors are gold, orange, and red. Very few available.
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.
