Shishio Improved

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.

 

 

 


Heat Stress

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.

 

 

 

 

Another of the spectacularly spring-colored small-leaf types, similar to 'Shindeshojo', but with a bit more orange in the red of the opening leaf, that is, more crimson than scarlet. When the fire dies, the leaves are a pleasant green. A twiggy shrub to 12', it can have long new shoots when young, but slows down as it ages. Responds well to container culture, including bonsai.

 
Size #2 trees are available beginning September 1, and can be ordered until March 1. Starting in November, they can be shipped bare-root to save shipping costs. These trees are in very limited supply; many cultivars are not available in this size.

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.
