ACER JAPONICUM
CULTIVARS
Note: The common name Japanese Maple
usually refers to trees from palmatum species, however, many other fine species
share similar characteristics and are indeed native to Japan. We suggest you
look at Acer japonicum and Acer shirasawanum, in particular.
Acer japonicum — 10-15'.
Known as the Full Moon Maple, this outstanding species and its cultivars are
prized by gardeners all over the world. The leaves unfold like a fan to a
glowing green and then are exceptionally lovely in the fall with a glowing
yellow to red. Its smaller stature and interesting form are ideal for almost any
garden setting.
51020
Acer japonicum 6910—
7-8'. Small A. japonicum that we offered years ago and are happy to
see back. It is slower growing with small er leaves than the species. Just

goes out in fall with a wonderful crimson! 5-6' $129.95
50019 Acer japonicum
‘Aconitifolium’ - Fern Leaf Maple — 16'. (-20°F, USDA Zones 5-8). This
cultivar is also known as ‘Mai kujaku’ (dancing peacock). It is a vigorous
grower, strong in structure and forms a well-branched, rounded tree. The
leaves are striking in their deeply incised texture. Although it is not
known as a flowering tree, look closely and you will notice small spring
flowers of wine and white. In autumn the scarlet leaves set the garden
aflame with shades of red and orange. 1-2' $34.95, 3-4' $109.95, 4-5'
$129.95
51049 Acer japonicum ‘Aka omote’ —

‘Fairy Lights’ — 5'. This is the most dissected leaf of the Acer
japonicums. Outstanding. The fall color is great and won’t take a back seat
to any other cultivar. This Australian introduction is some what smaller and
more delicate than ‘Green Cascade’. A nice addition to the small garden. 1-2' $49.95
50022 Acer japonicum
‘Green Cascade’ — This selection is unique for its weeping habit,
similar to that of the A. palmatum dissectums. The main stem should
be staked to the desired height when young. The pendulous branches will
cascade down, creating a graceful mound. Leaves are cut to the center and
finely divided, giving a lacy appearance. Fall tones are brilliant yellow,
orange, and crimson. ‘Green Cascade’ is the discovery of the late Art Wright
of Canby, Oregon. #1 $27.95, 2-3' $49.95
50308 Acer japonicum

add character to this landscape specimen. 3-4' $79.95
50374 Acer japonicum

its fall color, is "truly sensational ruby red" according to Vertrees. A
must have for the collector or the weekend gardener. #1 $48.95
50970 Acer japonicum
‘Taki no gawa’ — 20'. This cultivar reminds me a little of
‘Vitifolium’ although leaf margins are not as serrated. Spring foliage has
reddish tinge, summer foliage is deep green and not as deeply cut. In fall
the leaves are yellow with red-orange veins and leaf tips. Excellent
alternative for those that want 'Vitifolium' form and leaf shape but don’t
have the space. 1-2' $29.95, 2-3' $39.95, 5-6' $119.95

USDA Zones 6-9). A Mediterranean species, this maple has thick, leathery,
trilobed leaves that can be semi evergreen in warmer zones. Scarce and quite
difficult to propagate, it matures to be the perfect accent tree for large
gardens. The greenish yellow leaves tend to droop at just the right time of year
to enhance the view of the red samaras. 6-7' $99.95
50171 Acer negundo ‘Flamingo’
— 30'. (-30°F, USDA Zones 4-9). Beautiful and interesting leaves emerge hot pink
with white and gradually turn to white and green while still keeping some of the
pink. At its best, the foliage makes the tree appear in full flower in clouds of
pink. Intensity and amount of pink coloration does vary somewhat from year to
year. It will also be affected by cultivation conditions. The tree has none of
the drawbacks of the common form of A. negundo. In the garden, this
magnificent specimen is a sight to behold, drawing comments from all who see it.
1-2' $19.95, 2-3' $24.95
50015 Acer negundo
‘Kelly’s Gold’ — 30'. This is one of the finest golden foliage trees

light up the garden! Plant it next to deep green conifers, or the red
foliage of a Japanese maple such as ‘Bloodgood’ and you will have a
breathtaking sight. Not often available for sale, and demand always exceeds
supply. 2-3' $24.95
50263 Acer negundo
‘Violaceum’ — 45'. The branches show deeper red to violet tones than
other forms and also show a blue cast on growth at times offering lots of

covered with soft, silky hairs underneath. 1-2' $19.95, 2-3' $24.95
50376 Acer negundo ‘Winter Lightning’

Acer pensylvanicum
- Striped Maple — 30'. (-40°F, USDA Zones 3-8). Syn. A. striatum. The

striped. In fall, the golden yellow of the foliage is attractively offset by the
white striped, reddish bark.

cultivar of the Sycamore maple has medium to large leaves and is one of the
most outstanding foliage plants you will ever see. Can grow to a bushy shrub
as well as a tree. It has not been introduced extensively in the United
States. As spring arrives, its leaves unfold into glorious shrimp-pink
clouds, turning yellow-green and ending in summer as forest green. It is
very beautiful. 2-3' $79.95
50367 Acer pseudoplatanus
‘Eskimo Sunset’ — This new Sycamore maple is a stunning display of pink,
pink and more pink! The large leaves will sometimes have spots or splotches
of light or dark green, giving the tree an overall stained glass look. This
will be a small tree, mature size is still to be observed. Give this beauty
full or part shade and you’ll be in the pink! 2-3' $59.95
50129 Acer pseudoplatanus
‘Prinz Handjeri’ — 15'. This maple is nearly identical to
‘Brilliantissimum’ except the underside of the mature leaves is reddish
purple. It begins its new growth with the same fantastic intensity of
shrimp-pink with long lasting color as if they were lit from within: they
just glow! Consider buying one of each and planting them together. Wow, what
a sight you’ll have in your garden! 3-4' $49.95, 5-6' $119.95

ACER SHIRASAWANUM
& CULTIVARS
Acer shirasawanum
— 15'. (-20°F, USDA Zones 5-8). This tree will frequently be wider than it is
tall with a multibranched growth habit. The bark is gray to greyish-brown. The
light green leaves emerge in May. Their delicate nature and broad, serrated
lobes (9-13 of them) create a wonderful texture contrast when planted with other
maples. Fall brings a melding of golden and crimson to the foliage of this
landscape gem.
50020 Acer shirasawanum ‘Aureum’ - Golden
Full Moon — 20'. The name of this tree comes from the golden, roundish leaves
that are shallowly separated into 11, pointed lobes. Often the tips will turn
bright red in fall, leaving the center of the leaf shining like a golden full
moon. In spring, the leaves unfold pale yellow-green that will deepen into
golden tones with summer sunshine. Too much sun can burn them in hotter
climates. Slow stubby growth gives ‘Aureum’ a compactness that is ideal for
container growing. Since this tree is very slow growing when young, Size 1 will
be small. 2-3' $79.95, 3-4' $119.95
50143 Acer shirasawanum
‘Autumn Moon’— 20'. Similar to ‘Aureum’ in leaf shape and growth

small leaves, only 2 to 3". This is a stubby growing short tree with an
intricate and dense structure as opposed to the open growth habit of the
species. Leaves are a rich dark green which turn into brilliant orange tones
in the fall. To add to the fall show, the samaras also turn orange around
the edges and are held in pretty, tight bunches like little bouquets. We’re
excited to have ‘Junihitoe’ added to our list of shirasawanum
cultivars. 4-5' $74.95
50094 Acer shirasawanum

it is grown. It has smaller leaves than most shirasawanums and holds it’s
foliage in a forward manner on the branch, seemingly giving each leaf it’s
own space. The rich green color in summer turns to a perfect ripe pumpkin
orange in the fall. I don’t know of another cultivar that has this true
orange color. 4-5' $149.95, 4-5' $149.95

and integrity of a native Japanese maple. It’s a handsome, erect plant with
smooth, gray bark and dark green leaves which often have a red border and shape
reminiscent of A. japonicum leaves. While preferring moist, open spots in
its native habitat, it will perform admirably in a wide range of climate and
cultivation. The fall color is a striking copper-red.

shape with very little pruning. Rare in cultivation. 3-4' $69.95
