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.
This cultivar is notable for its very unusual leaf form. The medium-to-deep green leaves have very narrow lobes, the edges of which curl inward toward the top center, almost rolling into a cylinder. The leaves are reminiscent of birds' feet, though the cultivar name refers to a 'crazy lion' of Japanese literature. The tree is a semi-dwarf to 6 or 8', upright but spreading, with dense foliage and a nice yellow fall color. Not recommended for the coldest zones.
