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.
Ah, another harp. 'Hime' means literally 'Princess' but here indicates a dwarf. This has among the smallest leaves of any cultivar, measuring only half to three- quarters of an inch across on old wood (larger on new). They are palmate, red at first, with a little green at the centers, then become light green in summer, yellow and orange in fall. It will grow to 5' in your dreams, very suitable for bonsai, growing upright and very twiggy. We received this tree as 'Goshiki kotohime', but this somewhat variegated form is known to revert. Since we see no variegation on our trees, we think it best to call them just "Kotohime'.
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.
