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.
The crinkled leaves on this cultivar start out red, but soon become bright green. They curl around the twigs in a rather chaotic manner, possibly inspiring the name, which means Earth Spider. This is a character from Japanese folklore who incites and revels in chaos. A nasty character, actually, but the tree is much nicer. It's a moderately fast-growing semi-dwarf to 10-12', of interesting form, and with excellent crimson and gold fall color. It won't be confused with anything else.
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.
