Emmit's Pumpkin (Acer japonicum 'Emmett's Pumpkin')

Another in my series of ‘What’s in a Name’: everything. Emmett’s Pumpkin seems to promise what is most prized: orange color with a twist: pumpkinisity; I’m thinking this leaf is going to be round and fat and gloriously orange, and in the fall it is, but the rest of the year, the color is way bland. I will need to study this plant outside before I give it two thumbs up.

Attaryi (Acer japonicum 'Attaryi')

Openly branched pendulous tree to 30′. Attaryi has deeply cleft leaves similar to Aconitifolium, but much larger. Many hued fall color: scarlet to yellow. I am ashamed of this picture! The colors should be gorgeous, not brownish! Zone 5.

The one specimen I have seen of this plant was spectacular with its yellowish orange colors in the summer. Not a real dwarf like Little Gem, it still wasn’t as vigorous as the species. Zone 5
