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.
We use the Canadian
pronunciation, "junee heeto eh?". Acer shirasawanum,
recently separated from Acer japonicum, has more leaf lobes than
A. palmatum, usually 9-11. A line connecting the tips of the
lobes would describe a circle, so the leaves are called orbicular. This
cultivar seems identical to 'Microphyllum', with smaller leaves than
the species. It will grow to about 15', maybe more in a long time. Samaras
(winged seeds) are held attractively above the foliage, which is yellow
in fall. Except for leaf color, which is dark green in summer, and its
rate of growth, it is pretty much equivalent to the Golden Full Moon
Maple.
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.
