Acer Silver Cardinal - The species of this  upright maple remains a mystery—and it is a beautiful one! Eye catching pink/red stems and plentiful silver markings on dark green leaves. Provide filtered sun in hot afternoon areas. Currently we have 4 foot trees.

Acer buergerianum (shown at right) - The "Trident" maple, native to China, is known for being hardy and easy to prune and shape. Acer buergerianum are hardy in several ways: they can grow in poor soil, handle hot and windy conditions (and even withstand some drought), and are cold hardy to Zone 5.

Acer buergerianum Mino yatsubusa - This cultivar forms a dense dwarf shrub, perfect for container or bonsai. Limited sizes available.

Acer circinatum Allyn Cook - Native to the western regions of North America. The 'Vine Maple' is not, therefore, truly a "Japanese" Maple - but is normally included in collections of them. It makes a multi-stemmed tall shrub. Allyn Cook is a new dwarf introduction. Bronze fall color. Four year tree 18 inches and profusely branched $95

Acer circinatum Little Gem - This dwarf tree grows ever so slowly into a dense globe. Marvelous fall color.

Acer circinatum Monroe - Green leaf turns gold in fall. Best in partial to deep shade. Fast grower to 10 feet.

Acer circinatum Sunglow - A new selection. Appears to have a rather dwarf habit. Spring foliage is bright apricot-colored; a notable contrast to typical green of the species.

Acer crataegifolium Veitchii - Bold variegation makes this small tree very desirable. Some leaves are entirely marked with white and pink and others are pure blue-green.

Acer griseum - Called the "Paperback Maple," this tree originally came from China and is very hardy. In the winter the tree's coppery-reddish bark peels away in thin sheets. Leaves provide a brilliant display of red fall color. 4 - 5 ft. tall--paperbark really shows $75. Older trees available. Cold hardy to Zone 5, possibly Zone 4.

Acer japonicum Aconitifolium "Maiku jaku" (pictured at right in November) - This is the extraordinary tree known as "Dancing Peacock" and as the "Fern Leaf Maple."

Acer monspessulanum - The "Monpellier Maple" forms a small (18-30') densely branched tree. With its small leaves it is very suited to container culture--especially bonsai. Three-lobed green leaf turns a pleasing rose color in fall. This tree withstands some drought.

Acer pentaphyllum - Nearly extinct in its native China, this tree has many unique traits. The leaf is divided to the base into five elongated lobes. Green turns to mixed fall color— predominantly golden and oranges. This tree is not particularly cold hardy and requires a sheltered location. We now offer young trees for $45.

Acer pseudoplatanus Eskimo Sunset -  Covered with flecks of pink, this leaf is truly unique.   Also, because the Sycamore-like leaf is very large,  people stop and take a very long look!  This tree will probably not grow tall; but final height is still not certain. Part shade.

Acer rufinerve - Another tree of the snake-bark type. Broad leaves in three lobes provide autumn colors in red and orange-yellow tones. Three year tree $19.

Older and very mature specimens available.
