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 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.
Apparently another descendent of 'Bloodgood', with that deep red-purple color. However, this one adopts an orange-red overlay and a deep green undertone, making up a color all its own. Holds this color better than most through the season. A vase-shaped tree that grows well. Most sources say to 12' in height, we'll say 15'. Leaves are smaller and more deeply divided than 'Bloodgood', so the tree is more delicate-looking, with a cascading habit. Bright scarlet in fall. May be identical to 'Shōjō'. Van Gelderen says in one paragraph that the two are distinct, and in the very next paragraph that they can't be told apart. If they're that close, I'm not sure it matters. "Beautiful-faced monkey"? "Red Dancing Monkey"? The translation is suspect, but the kanji for 'monkey' does appear in the name used on one Japanese website.
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.
