New
cultivars:
Some newly offered cultivars MAY be added to our list after they leaf out
around mid-April. Others, including small, rare, and hard to graft cultivars,
may be added in September. Once a cultivar 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 rather rare cultivar known mainly for the beauty of its leaves, which are finely cut almost like a laceleaf, though the tree doesn't cascade or weep. 'Shigure bato' means "late fall rain". This name has to do (I think) with the contrast between the bright red new growth and the light, bright green of mature foliage. (Unusually, the color is lighter in shade.) The tree is slow-growing to about 10'. Fall colors are gold and crimson. Not similar to much of anything.
Size
#1 trees ship after they leaf out, usually early to mid-April.
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.
