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.

Heat Stress:
Mild temperatures are best for shipping and planting. Maples ordered in summer may have browned leaves, but this is only temporary. We'll delay shipments when temperatures exceed 90 F. Fall is the preferred time for planting; spring is the next best time.
It's usually the case in the nursery business that new, improved cultivars replace older ones. In the case of ' Tamukeyama', the reverse is true. This cultivar, listed in Japan as early as 1710 (!) is now replacing many new cultivars in maple nurseries, particularly on the east coast. The reason is that 'Tamukeyama' is able to hold its burgundy color through hot, humid summers, and resist scorching better than most other red laceleaf cultivars. It is also quite vigorous, with long, cascading branches, reaching 6' or a bit more if left alone, 8' or more if staked. Like all cultivars, it will be smaller in cold climates. Deep red bark is covered with a white, waxy frosting, an identifying feature. Back to the future!
Although priced as a size #1, this and other well-known laceleafs are actually comparable to size #2 in most varieties.
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.
