Japanese Maples
" 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. |

NEW Addition!
tree graft 7gal 4-5' 40.00 $45.00 7
 Rough corky bark with creases, irregularities and longitudinal cracks make this a  collector's item and a conversation piece. Perfect for bonsai, as the trunk texture gives an aged appearance. Rough bark appears after 5 years of age. The English translation means "rough bark".
Their Spring colour is a delicate light green leaf and contrasts with the fissured corky bark wonderfully!
Summertime brings out the green and by fall oranges and yellows prevail.
Surely a Bonzai enthusiasts dream. The bark alone only gets better with age, green breaking threw the bark like veins of blood.
I think this is one cool Japanese Maple. These babies are hard to get and extremely expensive. On any Bonzai site 12-18" ones sell for over $200. My 4-5' babies are going for just $50. They won't be here long.
 Japanese Maple Growing Zones: 5-8

Acer Palmatum "Atrolineare"

NEW Addition!
tree graft 5 gal 4-5' brch 35.00 45.00 9
 'Atrolineare' is one of the many varieties of Strapleaf Maples, characterized by their narrow,  willow-like red leaves. It has been observed under many growing conditions that this particular variety retains its bright red color best throughout the summer months, making it more than desirable. 'Atrolineare' prefers to be planted in filtered to full sun and moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. With these conditions, this tree is likely to mature at a height of ten to twelve feet.
This red linearilobum with fine thread-like leaves makes a beautiful spring display before summers heat turns the leaves first bronze and then green. The late summer growth tends to have much wider lobes. The shape is generally vase shaped and open topped. Fall colour varies between red and orange. While 'Atrolineare' tolerates full sun in many areas, it will benefit greatly from some afternoon shade in hot climates.
Reminds one of Bamboo but red in colour. It deserves a place in a Japanese Garden for sure!

I love the bold redness of the standard Japanese Maples...like the Atropurpureum. I find that they are very hardy and extremely beautiful.
Also they make amazing Bonzai specimens.
These are fantastic specimens with wonderful architectural, almost quirky habits. Others are more symmetrical. They have fine purple deeply divided leaves, turning red in autumn.
Seems to leaf out early.
A great starter Japanese Maple!
Always comes back with little winter die back. I have one and never even protect it in the winter. Plus I have a grove of them up on my land and they grow fast! |

 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!

 One of the nicest Palmatums! 'Glowing Embers' is an outstanding Japanese maple that was selected as Georgia's 2005 Gold Medal winner for its vigorous growth rate, brilliant fall colour and adaptability to a range of landscape conditions. 'Glowing Embers' provides a kaleidoscope of colours in fall as the leaves fade from green to purple, fluorescent orange or yellow, much like the ever-changing and mesmerizing embers of a wood fire. The colour sequence of each leaf varies as fall deepens. A single branch may display four distinctly different colours at the same time. 'Glowing Embers' is beautiful all year with its bright green leaf colour which turns different shades in the summer and fall. Unlike many Japanese maples that require shade and moist, organic soils, 'Glowing Embers' thrives in full sun and it tolerates drought better than most trees in its class.

 ‘Okushimo’ is a very unusual upright green leafed Japanese Maple. This tree  has a light green leaf and the edges curl upright creating a very unique look. The growth habit is upright and forms a great vase shape that can be very useful in the landscape. The fall colour ranges from yellow to deep orange/red. Spring foliage is chartreuse. The tree is vigorous and grows well in sun or shade. The height can reach up to 20 feet over time and even at maturity retains the great vase-like shape. The name ‘Okushimo’ means “salt and pepper”. This is a very old cultivar that is underused because people are not informed about it. The unusual leaf structure and great color make ‘Okushimo’ a very complimentary addition when planted next to other cultivars.
I had to offer this one as the little leaves are so unique and bunched together. I just love the green leaves all slightly curled on this specimen. It would make a great container grown or bonsai specimen.

 This is a diferent sort of upright maple, almost weeping willow like. When young 'Omure yama grows  rather quick and up, but as the tree reaches maturity the long slender new growth cascades around the drip line of the tree. I have heard claims that this or that variety has the best fall color of any Japanese maple. I would not have the audacity to claim that about any cultivar but year in and year out I would say the reds, oranges and yellows of 'Omure yama' in fall are at least equal to any other variety we grow and sell.

tree 3gal graft well branched 2-3' $20 $30 1
 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 colour contrast well with any landscape.

tree graft whip 3-4' 35.00 45.00 sold out
tree graft well branched 7-10 gal 120.00 3  '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.

 A much more true red rather than purple and holds it's red color through the summer Red  Dragon has quickly become the favorite red dissectum. Overall smaller than most dissectum, with a smaller leaf, slower growth habit and black bark making this tree the best choice for a container, small garden or bonsai. A new superior maple from New Zealand. Deeply cut purple-red leaves have a distinctly different texture from the other dissectum types, and you might easily envision hundreds of red dragon’s claws hanging from this vigorous maple. Has held excellent red color in the summer, and is always a darker, more purplish red color than Crimson Queen. There are those who feel this cultivar could become the standard red dissectum sold in America. Grows 4-5’ in ten years.

Acer Palmatum Dissectum "Red Filigree Lace"
Bareroot$ Potted Price $ Availibility
tree graft 5gal 3-4' branched 35.00 45.00 1
 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.

 Coral Bark Maple is the other name for this outstanding selection. The younger  branches are a bright coral red and are especially striking in winter. The fall foliage colour can be red to orange or yellow. Another one of my favourite palmatums.
The red-coral colour to the bark is due to cold temperatures in the winter. When the new light green leaves emerge in the spring on the coral bark it is a beautiful sight. The leaves remain green all summer and the bark colour lightens as the temperature rises. Fall colours are exquisite ranging from gold to orange to scarlet red. This cultivar can handle full sun to partial shade and matures at about 15'. This versatility and winter interest make it a often requested cultivar.
Ours are amazing ....come and see....

 '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.

tree graft 5gal 2' + $40.00 1 GORGEOUS
 Also known as 'Lion's Head' is a small Japanese maple. It grows in a stiff vase shape. The lions head maple has short, stubby twigs growing from short branches covered with dense deep green foliage. Mature specimens form a broad oval. This combined with the densly layered ruffled branches give it the appearance of a lion's head, especially with the outstanding deep orange and yellow gold fall foliage. The lion's head maple is one of the last trees to turn color in the fall. It could be November before the foliage begins to take on a golden color.
It has attractive green foliage which emerges red in spring. The crinkled palm-shaped leaves are ornamentally significant and turn an outstanding harvest gold in the fall. It features subtle corymbs of burgundy flowers rising above the foliage in mid spring before the leaves. It produces red samaras from early to mid fall. The rough gray bark and red branches add an interesting dimension to the landscape.

tree graft well branched 3-5gal 4-5' 30.00 35.00 10 These were taller than I expected....
 The specimen gets its name from the famous mountain Tamukeya situated in Kyushu. The  mountain is famous for having a shrine of a famous Japanese warrior in history recalled as Musahi Miyamoto. The unique name of the maple tree actually means “hands folded in prayer upon the mountain. The term tamuke is usually used for spiritual offerings and acts. The Zen Buddhists were particularly familiar with this term as it was part of their daily practices.
'Tamukeyama' is one of the older Japanese maple cultivars with records dating back to the year 1710. This beautiful tree has outstanding foliage colour throughout the seasons. Tamukeyama's new foliage is a deep crimson-red when unfolding but soon turns to a dark-purple red. It is an excellent shade of dark red that holds until late summer. Its fall colour is a bright scarlet. 'Tamukeyama' holds its deep colour better than any other cultivar. This hardy plant has a strong cascading form. Tamukeyama reaches 5 to 7 feet in height in ten years. This cultivar is considered by many to be the best, and the connoisseurs choice in red dissectums.
I own one and love it!

 True to its name, this variety maintains a somewhat columnar form, with burgundy to red foliage all season long, ending in a fiery display in fall; the dense and narrow upright form makes it wonderfully useful for many garden applications.

Once the leaves drop the tree still looks amazing for dramatic winter effect!

In full sun, Ukigumo tends to turn pink in the upper most exposed leaves. Ukigumo is also known as the Floating Cloud Maple.
This is a rare and unique one. Definitely for the coniseur.
A small to medium sized tree, Ukigumo in Japanese means 'Floating Cloud Tree'. The new growth is variegated with white and green leaves mixed with pink. The growth habit is spreading with layers that Japanese translate to clouds. One of the finest maples in the variegated group.

Acer Palmatum Dissectum "Viridis"
Potted Price $ Availibility
tree graft 7-10 gal 90 2 Ours are amazing...
 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.

 A superb landscape choice valued for its finely-textured cutleaf foliage and shapely horizontally-cascading habit of growth; an excellent refined choice for small home landscapes, makes a great accent in the shrub border.

Elegant, horizontal branching habit, reaching 6 feet in height by 10 feet in width, makes this plant interesting even during winter months and an excellent choice for night lighting.
