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.
'Floating Clouds'
is the English name of this cultivar. Green and white
variegation (with pink added on new growth, especially in spring) is
one thing, but when you put this tree in full sun on a fairly dry site,
the
foliage will appear almost white from a little distance. A slow-
growing shrub that should reach 6-12' in many years, this is among
the most outstanding of the variegated cultivars. A little patience
is
required, first and second year trees often do not show variegation.
When it comes, though, it's very strong. As with 'Toyama nishiki',
some people love the variegation, some don't.
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.
