Acer shirasawanum x palmatum
Sensu
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.
'Sensu' means 'fan'
in Japanese, and the leaves of this cultivar are reminiscent
of folding paper fans as they wave in the wind. The green leaves are
edged in
orange, and in fall the color pervades the whole leaf and deepens, for
a dramatic
effect. This is a man-made hybrid of Acer palmatum and A.
shirasawanum,
as is the very different red-leafed cultivar 'Johin'. Both were introduced
by the
Buchholz nursery in Oregon.
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.
