Villa taranto (Acer palmatum ‘Villa taranto’ )
Villa Taranto is a compact linearlobum that one lady tried to tell me was variegated; I knew it wasn’t but what she meant was that it changed color every day: red orange in spring, yellow orange green in the summer and orange again in the fall. It has always been one of my favorites.

Aratama (Acer palmatum ‘Aratama’)
Acer palmatum ‘Aratama’
Aratama is one of the brightest and most colorful red dwarfs (5′ in 10 years) because somehow it appears multi-colored a good portion of the year, so it sort of shakes up the eye. As luck would have it, the only picture I took is when it was uniform bright red when the best color is in the fall when it is all over the map. maybe next year.

Yazemin (Acer palmatum ‘Yazemin’ )
Yazemin is thought to be a cross between palmatum and shirasewanum. The leaves are a glossy crimson into the summer changing to a bronze sort of color–very distinctive really. The tree gets large: 25-30′.

Winter Flame (Acer palmatum ‘Winter Flame’)
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.

Uki gumo (Acer palmatum ‘Uki gumo’ )
Uki gumo (Acer palmatum ‘Uki gumo’ )
The translation of the name of this maple is Floating Cloud which is appropriate if you think of early morning fluffy pink clouds; the foliage on this tree is otherwise indescribable, but it grows slowly to 8′. Zone 6

Ueno homare (Acer palmatum ‘Ueno homare’)
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.
