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 large upright
palmatum known for its very large, bold, green leaves
in summer and renowned for its extraordinary scarlet fall color. Some
call this the best fall color on any maple. It is a vigorous grower
to 30', but takes a lot more years to get the third 10 than it
does the first 10. Summer leaves are dark olive green before turning
scarlet in fall. Traditionally grown alongside 'Ichigyogi', which is
virutally identical, except that its fall color is an equally intense
yellow-orange. Tradition has it that the two cultivars were sister
seedlings from the same lot when selected, but this may be
apocryphal. Japanese garden writers suggest placing the two
near a pond to create a double mirror-image. Yikes!
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.
