Shigure bato - Matsumurae - green - A shrub-like plant with widely
spreading pendulous branches amply covered with bright red spring foliage.
Leaves turn green during the summer months followed by a variation
of fall colors, gold to red. A nice landscape and container plant.

Shin Deshojo - Palmatum - green - The most ostentatious of spring leaf
color is this particular tree, as it flaunts bright fire engine red leaves. This
grandiose juvenile foliage remains for well over a month, but transforms
to a charming red-green with infrequent leaves marked with small freckles
of pale cream/white in midsummer. The fall color is a synthesis of red
and orange tones. The 5 or 7 lobed leaves are a typical palmatum look.
Red-brown to purple-red petioles hold the leaves two thirds of the way
to the leaf base. Leaves are ovate, reducing to a point, with margins having
serrated sharp edges. The growth habit is a rounded, well-branching
superstructure. A wonderful plant for Bonsai and container growing.

Shishigashira - Palmatum - green - Compact and upright, this stubby
plant features close-packed arrangements of dramatically crinkled deep
green leaves of heavy substance. The small leaf has 5-7 lobes, very
deeply divided, with each lobe being ovate and tapered to a point. The
sides are curled upward, occasionally convoluted, and in most cases
form a v-shaped trough. The fall coloration has luminous combinations
of gold/rose/crimson tones. Easily grown in container and for Bonsai.
(13’- 20’) Sun. 2’- 3’ $75.00, 3’- 4’ $110.00, 4’- 5’ $275.00
Shojo - Palmatum - red - Large growing maple that has dark purple
leaves in spring, but shows more burgundy color most of the season.

except the leaves are smaller. Excellent plant for the landscape. (20’-
30’) Sun or part shade. 4’- 5’ $100.00
Spring Delight - Dissectum - green - The extraordinary spring foliage is
bright green, with multi-dissected lobes, deeply cut and serrated, terminating
in an extremely fine tip. The contrasting juvenile feathery foliage
is bright purple-red, which beautifully adds to the ornamentation of this
canopy. Fall colors are quite spectacular and range from red to orangered.
The vertical growth is strong but not overly vigorous. (3’- 7’) Some
shade. 1’- 2’ $40.00, 3’- 4’ $85.00
Sumi nagashi - Matsumurae - red - This broadly branching upright tree
displays lustrous purple-red spring leaves that graduate to a very dark
maroon in the early summer, to dark green-red and mahogany tones during
mid-summer and finally developing bright crimson tones of fall.
These 7 lobed leaves are almost divided to the base with doubly serrated
outer margins interfaced with smooth inner margins and sharp points.
(13’- 20’) Some shade. 4’- 5’ $100.00, 5’- 6’ $125.00
Summer Gold - Palmatum - green - A golden leafed maple that won’t
burn in full sun. A great new palmatum that happily flaunts a gorgeous
golden-yellow color even in hot, sunny areas. In the spring, the
leaves emerge light green, turning to golden-yellow in the summer,
and finally to a bright yellow for the fall. An unright tree with palmate
leaves and a medium growth habit. Excellent tree for the landscape,
especially planted next to a red maple. (7’- 13’) Sun or part
shade. 5’- 6’ $150.00
Sunset - Dissectum - green - A typical mounding dissectum maple
with non-typical leaves and colors. It possesses the same cascading
growth habit as most, growing slowly. The medium-sized leaves have
a neat appearance since they are held on a common plane and do not
twist. The lobes are distinct in that they are dissected only once, on
both sides of each midrib, and are not doubly dissected as they are
in other varieties. The new foliage is a bright green, rather light with
an overall tinting of rust, changing to shades of bright orange and
reds in the fall. (7’- 13’) Sun or part shade. 2’- 3’ $40.00
Tamuke yama - Dissectum - red - An ancient Japanese maple with a
mounding superstructure clothed with cascading branches to the ground.
Multi-dissected and deeply cut, 7 to 9 lobed, finely tipped leaves unfurl
to exhibit dark crimson red foliage changing to a very dark burgundy.
This color is held throughout the summer until the transition of glowing
red embers for fall. Excellent landscape and continer plant. (7’- 13’) Sun.
2’- 3’ $75.00, 3’- 4’ $110.00
The Bishop - Palmatum - red - This selection has 7-lobed fairly deeply
divided purple-red leaves with slender petioles. The lobes extend outward
and are divided about three-quarters of the way to the leaf base.
Each lobe is oblong-ovate, gradually tapering to a long slender point.
The margins are uniformly and finely serrated. The purple-red is bright
in the spring and does not bronze until late summer. The fall color is an
excellent crimson. A vigorous, upright growing tree. (7’- 13’) Sun or part
shade. 3’- 4’ $85.00
Tiger Rose - Palmatum - green - The growth habit is a round-topped
superstructure with cascading branches. Dr. Bump first found this seedling
by ‘Azuma Muraski’, and named it for his wife. The juvenile foliage
is a rosy-pink color tinged with pale green. As the season progresses to
mid-summer, leaves are poised to exhibit a creamy-white with a deep
green network of colored veins and margins. The reticulated leaves have
9 or 11 lobes that are long, ovate-lanceolate-shaped that gradually ascend
to a sharp point with deeply toothed margins. The fall color shifts to red
tones suffused with green. (13’- 20’) Some shade. 3’- 4’ $75.00
Tobiosho - Palmatum - green - This otherwise normal green palmatum
comes alive in the fall with its vivid scarlet coloration. The small
5 lobed leaves are divided up to three-quarters of the way to the base
and are slightly longer than wide. This cultivar has a upright and
wide-topped superstructure. (7’- 13’) Sun &/or part shade. 2’- 3’
$65.00
Toyama nishiki - Dissectum - variegated - A very rare and distinguished
foliage plant with a mounding shape, silhouetted with typical dissectum
type leaves which are 7-9 lobes, finely divided with serrated margins and
endless patterns and random variegation or lack of variegations of purple-red
to greenish-red outer covering. Some juvenile foliage is a very
intense red-orange as long as the plant in grown in shade. (3’- 7’) Foliage
sunburns easily. 3’- 4’ $75.00
Trompenburg - Matsumurae - red - An outstanding upright tree (13’-
20’ at maturity), that broadens laterally with age (20’- 30’). The dramatic
leaves are narrowly convexed, deep purple-red, and 7 to 9 lobes, fanning-out
evenly from the petiole. Scarlet fall leaves complete the wonderful
color cycle. Great container plant. Sun/part shade. 4’- 5’ $150.00
Tsuchigumo - Palmatum - green - The juvenile new growth is a rustyred,
but quickly changes to a bright chartreuse green, that holds throughout
the summer. The fall foliage color consolidates vivid golds with red
margins that blend within. The lobes are elongate-ovate, that decline to
a sharp point, as they radiate outward. These textured lobes twist and curl
for another floral dimension. This tree grows with an upright carriage,
superstructured with well-branching, sturdy stems. (7’- 13’) Sun or part
shade. 3’- 4’ $75.00, 4’- 5’ $100.00
Tsukushi gata - Amoenum - red - A v-shaped tree with a rounded canopy,
