Maples
All Japanese Maples are superior selections, reproduced by grafting.
They can be grown as single or multi-stemmed deciduous trees, grown
in full sun or part shade (more shade in warmer areas) in enriched welldrained,
aerated soils with ample moisture.
We ship Maples from November through March/early April (dormancy).
Shipments can be made during the soft green growth period
via airfreight. We will ship when safe delivery can be made.
Pricing/Sizing: - Since there are tremendous differences in growth
between varieties, we have attempted to approximate pricing according

Acer shirasawanum - Maples
shirasawanum 'Aureum' - This stunning dome-shaped, well-branched
tree is impressively canopied with dense pale yellow-green spring foliage
with 9-13 lobed, circular pointed leaves turning darker green as the
summer progresses. The fall leaf colors range from orange through red.

shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’ - This unique foliage has 11 (9) short
lobes each finely serrated with rusty colored midribs that radiate in a
very specific rounded pattern. The remaining leaf tissue is a pale yellow-green
infused with strong coppery tones. When planted in full sun,
strong autumn tones of burnt-orange become very evident. This wellstructured,
upright tree can be successfully grown in a container or as a
wonderful landscape specimen. The coppery fall leaf color is not as
dramatic as the spring and summer foliage. (7’- 13’) 3’- 4’ $75.00

for the landscape. (3’- 7’) Sun or part shade. 3’- 4’ $110.00
shirasawanum ‘Mr. Sun’ - This is a slow growing, broad and upright
plant introduced by Buchholz Nursery. Bright lime-green leaves give
way to gold and orange in the fall. Named for the resemblance the leaves
have to the rays of a sun, drawn by a child. A great container or Bonsai
plant. (3’- 7’) Sun to part shade. 3’- 4’ $100.00
shirasawanum ‘Sensu’ - The 9-lobed fan-shaped chartreuse green
leaves are edged with orange-red tones that eventually transition to flaming
red in the fall. The juvenile growth is a pale lime-green. The deeply
divided lobes gradually ascend to a sharp point with deeply serrated
edges. Orchid-red petioles also add to this colorful exhibition. A beautiful
tree for the landscape. (13’- 20’) Sun 3’- 4’ $80.00
Acer Japonicum – Maples
f. aconitifolium - Beautifully textured deep green leaves, well divided
and deeply cut, are separated into lobes giving the appearance of being
very delicately fern-like. This gracefully well-branched, strongly structured
tree has outstanding ruby-crimson fall foliage and will grow well
in exposed situations. (13’- 20’) 3’- 4’ $75.00, 4’- 5’ $90.00
Green Cascade - A distinctive weeping rounded plant with rich green
leaves, deeply dissected into narrow sections of double division, looking
delicately lace-like. The dramatic richness of the fall foliage enhances its
beauty through a color range of brilliant yellow-orange-crimson tones.
Excellent container plant. (7’- 13’) Sun. 2’- 3’ $50.00, 3’- 4’ $90.00
Acer Palmatum - Maples
Aka shigitatsu sawa - Palmatum - variegated - The most outstanding
feature of this up-right somewhat bushy tree, is the exotic-looking light
green 7 (9) lobed leaves, deeply veined and strongly variegated with pink
or red hues that hold well into the summer graduating to deeper green
tones. Excellent Bonsai and container plant. (7'- 13') Part shade. 3’- 4’
$75.00
Alpenweiss - Palmatum - variegated - This upright multi-branching
superstructure is dramatically silhouetted with 8 lobes each tapering
to a sharp point and with strongly toothed margins of red. The light
green leaf veins are contrasted by thin ribbons of dark green bordered
along each midrib. The color between the vein margins is a
cream to pink. The juvenile spring foliage unfolds with leaflets of
pale cream hued with crimson. The color transitions in the fall
changes to an orange and to deep golden-yellow with nuances of red.
The leaf color of this cultivar has similarities to Higasa yama, but far
more colorful. (7’- 13’) Some shade. 3’- 4’ $75.00
Aoba jo - Dwarf - green - An upright, multi-branching cultivar densely
shrouded with small rich green leaves. Remarkable yellow tinged orange
leaves announce the arrival of fall. The typical palmate-type leaves are
5-lobed, broad ovate with a sharp point. Great container and Bonsai
plant. (3’- 7’) Sun &/or part shade. 4’- 5’ $100.00
Aratama - Dwarf - red - This wonderful dwarf plant is suitable for container
growing, Bonsai culture and as a companion plant for the garden.
The bright red foliage has a combination of colors from brick red to
mahogany red to light purple red. The base of each midrib is colored a
bright green. The 5-7 lobes have well-serrated margins with long tapering
points. One of the unusual characteristics of this leaf is the shortened
center lobe which is derived from being a witches’ broom. The growth
habit is rounded, dense and very compact. (3’- 7’) Sun. 3’- 4’ $75.00
Ariadne - Marsumurae - variegated - The new growth of this cultivar
is especially attractive and noticeable, with yellow-green veining on
pastel shades of light orange-pink-red marbled background. This
gradually changes through the summer to become red veined on a
purplish red background. The fall color of the leaves return to the
orange-pink-red marbling with a deeper pink-red spreading inward
from the margin while the network of veins remain yellow-green.

ovate with narrow tail-like tips. (3’- 7’) Sun or part shade. 2’- 3’
$75.00
Atrolineare - Linearilobum - red - A very distinguished upright growing
shrub with a widely spreading rounded top, that is beautifully canopied
with dramatic deep black-red strap-like 5 lobed leaves, that change to
more greenish-bronze tones in the summer and finally to showy red
shades for fall. (7’- 13’) Sun or part shade. 4’- 5’ $125.00
Azuma murasaki - Matsumurae - red - The deeply divided reddish
leaves distinguish this cultivar. The red is an unusual tone, with a
slight purple hue in it, but the entire leaf has an undertone of green
showing through. New foliage is a yellow-orange color quickly
changing to a deep green with a reddish cast, and finally to scarlet
shades for the fall. The growth habit of this cultivar is upright with
a rounded top. An excellent companion plant for the landscape. (13’-
20’) Sun or part shade. 3’- 4’ $75.00
Baldsmith - Dissectum - red - This cultivar’s growth habit is compact,
well-rounded with cascading branches. A beautiful canopy of finely dissected
divisions of sublobes with sharply pointed teeth present bright
orange-red spring growth. As the season progresses leaves change to
green undertones with pink margins. However, as new orange-red foliage
continues to appear, it beautifully contrasts with the more mature
