Winter Flame (Acer palmatum ‘Winter Flame )

Sorry about the pic. It is truly the lazy man’s photo to put up a pic of a one gallon when there are beauties in the field, but if have seen Sango Kaku or Beni Kawa or any of the coral barks, then you can imagine this tree. Winter Flame is just a little shorter and a little bushier. And more resistant to pseudomonas? Those claims are out there. In my open windy location, pseudomonas is not a problem so I can’t test it. This one is my favorite.

Ueno homare (Acer palmatum ‘Ueno homare’)

It takes a sharp eye to distinguish Yeno homare (also known as Ueno yama) from Katsura to which it is closely related, but it is in fact, a little more orange in the growing season and just a little smaller. It is a great tree.

Supposedly Twombly is a columnar bright red dwarf, but I have seen one 15′ x 8′ so it wasn’t small but it was indeed TIGHT and columnar, but fatly columnar.

Tsumagaki (Acer palmatum 'Tsumagaki' )

Tsuma gaki is one of my favorites; it comes out in the spring with a yellowish green leaf rimmed with pink/purple, and it holds that color for quite a while; the leaves are sort of droopy giving the plant a soft delicate look; don’t even think about planting outside in full sun, but put it in the shade and you’ll be captivated.

The spring color of the leaves of this cultivar is a dark purple; in summer, it changes to a sort of interesting brown, and then in the fall it is crimson. The veins in the leaves are always prominent. The growth habit is shrubby, to 12′ tall and almost as wide. zone 6

Tiny Leaf (Acer palmatum ‘Tiny Leaf’ )

Guess what the main feature of Tiny Leaf is? There are a lot of colors in these krinkly leaves so it is an interesting plant, probably to be a favorite with Bonsai folks. So we will try to graft it really low in the future.
