Japanese Maple Seedlings
" I have always loved Japanese Maples. My parents had one in their front yard for years when they lived in Southern Ontario and I was always in awe of it every time I went to visit. It was a dissectum...meaning that it had lacy leaves. It was also dark red...almost a wine colour. I found out years later it was a Burgandy Lace. Ever since seeing it I wanted one or two someday. Well that someday has come. My first Japanese Maple grown from seed was a Burgandy Lace. Now I am attempting to grow all sorts. I still have an affinity for the dissectums be they red, green or any colour in between." - Kevin Cook

| Note: Any of our seedlings are just seedlings grown from the seed of the named cultivar. That means that they will not be an exact duplicate of their parent. However, with luck you will get some seedlings that will look a lot like their parent cultivar or have unique characteristics of their own (that is how new cultivars are found!). I try to only keep seedlings that resemble their parent. |

 Stunning! I simply love it....and it is extremely cold hardy!  Also known as Fern-Leaf or Dancing Peacock it has deeply lobed leaves, crimson autumn color, and plenty of small, reddish flowers in spring. It can be grown as a small tree or multi-stemmed shrub. Its growth habit is mounded, bushy, and spreading. The cultivar name 'Aconitifolium' refers to the fact that its ferny foliage resembles that of monkshood (Aconitum). This beautiful tree makes a great specimen plant and is very hardy.
Noteworthy characteristics: Good fall color; deeply lobed leaves; free-flowering.

 The Bloodgood Japanese Maple is a much-sought-after specimen tree. It maintains a beautiful reddish purple color through Spring and Summer. Very Hardy!
This little tree wrote the book on red foliage!
The Bloodgood’s bright red leaves first appear in the beginning of spring, right off its bright red stems.
In summer, the red deepens to a fabulous reddish-purple, followed by fire engine red fall color.
This larger sized Japanese Maple is a strong grower that easily adapts to climates and conditions from the West Coast to the Atlantic shoreline.
It isn’t just the colour of the foliage that makes the Bloodgood so stunning - the leaves themselves are a joy to behold. Intense color from spring through fall, with a unique shape.
Japanese Maples are always the focal point in any landscape... they give it a rich, distinguished look.
And Bloodgoods are the most popular variety of Japanese Maple. Their bright red foliage is unmatched, so you'll have amazing color throughout the year! I also gather seed locally!

Inaba Shidare Cutleaf Japanese Maple will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is particular about its soil conditions, with a strong preference for rich, neutral soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones.

Acer Palmatum "Inazumi"
$Price Availability Seedling 8.80 1 *See Note at top re: seedlings
  Translated as "thunder" maple, Inazuma grows larger than most other Japanese maples, reaching a mature size of approximately 25' high and 15' wide. This variety is one of the most spectacular Japanese maples in terms of colour. Foliage starts out as a purplish-red in spring and by summer, the leaves will turn to a lovely olive green. Fall colours are simply outstanding as the foliage turns to a deep crimson-red. Like all Japanese maples, this variety responds well to pruning and is also suitable for container growing or bonsai culture.
Note that tree seeds do not reproduce exact replicas of the cultivar from which they developed. Usually strong resemblance is found among the seedlings and often seedlings from the same tree will differ from one another! This uniqueness and variation in leaf shape, colour and habit in tree seedlings is part of the enjoyment of growing these beautiful specimens from scratch.

Acer Palmatum "Koto no ito"
$Price Availability Seedling 8.80 20 *See Note at top re: seedlings
 ‘Koto-no-ito’, meaning “harp strings” in Japanese, is aptly named for its threadlike green leaves, which break into  five to seven lobes and gradually taper to fine points. The leaves turn an attractive butter to lemon yellow in autumn and stand out against the tree’s green bark. ‘Koto-no-ito’ usually reaches 10 feet after 10 to 15 years, with mature plants looking like a wonderful, wispy green haze from a distance. Despite its delicate appearance, it is hardy in Zones 5 to 9 and is generally more tolerant of drought and sun than other cultivars with finely dissected leaves. As with other members of the Linearilobum Group, leaves that are produced later in the season will have broader lobes. Nevertheless, ‘Koto-no-ito’ is a perfect specimen for patio and container plantings.
The leaf lobes on this tree are indeed among the narrowest of any
cultivar. ('Koto ito komachi' and 'Fairy Hair' deserve mention in this
category.) Some leaves may revert to wider form, then
return to the narrow form the following year. Any that don't
return need to be removed. This cultivar should eventually
grow to 10', with a narrower spread. Leaves are bright light
green in summer, yellow in fall. A knockout. Best with
protection from hot afternoon sun.

 This spectacular tree/shrub is one of the most outstanding laceleaf dissectums because of its unique orange color, thus the name 'Orangeola'. Orangeola is known for its bright spring foliage and its delicately cascading branches. The leaves have a somewhat glossy appearance that adds to its beauty as the Sun shines through the tree. Orangeola's finely dissected orange-red leaves make it a "showpiece" type tree. The orange colored leaves turn to a rich red-green as summer approaches. Weeks later a new flush of orange leaves arrive and continue throughout the summer. As the fall season arrives Orangeola's leaves turn dark red before turning a beautiful orange-red. Orangeola performs well in the Sun, especially compared to other laceleaf cultivars. Orangeola is a vigorous grower, yet is one of the smaller laceleaf dissectums, reaching 10 feet in height when fully grown. Orangeola is usually taller than wide. Orangeola is a somewhat rare cultivar. Its unique growth and bright color contrast well with any landscape.

 'Osakazuki' is a very famous cultivar known for its intense crimson colour. It is one of the oldest  cultivars, having been listed in catalogs since the mid-1800's. All Japanese maples have good fall colors but the experts claim that 'Osakazuki' has the greatest vigor and most intense color of all of the Japanese maples. 'Osakazuki' has large leaves that seem to give the tree an air of orderliness. For most of the growing season the leaf color is a rich green. The leaves do not burn easily and have a durable texture. The beautiful fall color has been likened to that of a "burning bush". Even at dusk the color seems to glow. 'Osakazuki' grows rapidly for the first few years then slows down. This cultivar grows 7-10 ft. tall in 10 years and can reach 20 ft. in extreme old age. This upright tree becomes more branched and forms a round top as it ages. Since the leaves sometimes "cup" at the base, this cultivar is termed "saki-cup-like leaf", or 'Osakazuki'. This cultivar is outstanding in most everyway. When given a backdrop of green or yellow it is even more spectacular.

Acer Palmatum Dissectum "Red Filigree Lace"
Price $ Availibility
seedling 11.00 n/a *See Note at top re: seedlings
 Red Filigree Lace has, by far, the most finely cut, delicate foliage of all the Japanese Maples. Despite its very delicate appearance, we find the deep red foliage holds up quite well under high heat and humidity. It is a remarkably tough plant, but tough to propagate because of its delicate stems and a slow grower. It was found as a chance seedling by William Curtis of Sherwood, Oregon and was eventually acquired and distributed by Iseli Nursery in Boring, Oregon. It has a mounding habit, perhaps reaching 6-8’ with age. Full sun for best color; although it will do fine in light to moderate shade.
Growth Habit: 6-8-foot high, compact cascading form
Zone: 5b-8
Exposure: filtered to full sun
Leaf Color: purple-red dissected
Leaf Desc: 7 deep-cut lobes
Fall Foliage: scarlet
Growing Conditions: well-drained, humus-rich soil
Comments: Beautiful in any garden. Excellent in small garden, container or as bonsai plant.

Acer Palmatum Dissectum "Seiryu"

seedling 8.80 25
 'Seiryu' is a very unique Japanese maple that is unlike any in the world. Because it is so different, it is an incredible addition to any maple collection. First, it is extremely rare to have a dissectum grow in an upright form. Almost all other dissectums grow in a cascading or weeping form. 'Seiryu' is a strong upright grower with just the right amount of vigor. As 'Seiryu' matures it becomes multi-branched and gradually thickens to nice and shapely form. Seiryu's spring foliage is a refreshing bright green colour. Each lace-leaf tip has a splash of reddish tones as it unfolds. The leaves soon change to a uniform light green. In late summer reddish tones reappear on the exposed leaves. Seiryu's fall colours are quite spectactular and range from gold to light yellows with a suffusion of crimson in most leaves. The lace-leaves are slightly smaller and much thinner than other green dissectums. A must have for those who want a dissectum that will become a tree.

Acer Palmatum Dissectum "Viridis"

seedling 8.80 17 *See Note at top re: seedlings
 Green Lace-leaf Japanese Maple. I love these dissectums! Broad-rounded habit. Branches often layered or sweeping toward the ground in weeping cultivars. Narrowly lobed leaves are often dissected creating a lacy appearance. Weeping cut leaf form with green foliage. Golden yellow fall colour.Dwarf growing and spreading with delicate, feathery, deeply cut green foliage and arching branches. Brilliant fall foliage. Few plants can compare to the effect these choice cultivars create in the landscape. In winter the branching patterns are delicate and intricate with bold upward arching trunks and weeping stems. The lacy foliage changes its appearance as the seasons progress. Autumn foliage is colorful, and even the fallen leaves are attractive on the ground. Easy to grow, reasonably winter tolerant and slow to mature, these cultivars are suitable for virtually any garden. Most perform best in partial shade, and they are ideal as understory trees. Foliage colors tend to be more pronounced with higher light intensity.

 Brilliantly-coloured in spring and fall and wine or cherry red to red-bronze in the middle  months, this is a sturdy and reliable cultivar, but one that is little-known despite the fact that it's one of the old Japanese varieties. It grows to about 20' at an average of a foot a year, but grows faster when young, then slows and spreads with age.
