MAPLE, NORWAY, EMERALD QUEEN
Acer platanoides ‘Emerald Queen’

that turn bright yellow in fall. This, as well as all “hard”
maples, can sunscald and frost crack, though less if the
trunk is wrapped the first three winters.

Mature Ht: 50' & Spd: 40'

MAPLE, RED POINTE® Acer rubrum ‘Frank Jr.’
New for Year 2012
Stan believes they have finally cooked up a better tree than
Red Sunset Maple. This is a cross between Acer freemanii
and Acer rubrum but this recipe adds a little more Red
Maple blood giving it a higher alkaline tolerance than
Autumn Blaze and just enough freemanii blood to give it a
more vigorous growth rate and hardier than Red Sunset. It
has a very dominant central straight leader and stronger
branch angles with a pleasing pyramidal mature shape.
Outstanding brilliant red fall color.
Max. Elev: 6,000 ft. RPM *2" B&B
Mature Ht: 45' & Spd: 30'

MAPLE, RED SUNSET® Acer rubrum ‘Franksred’
Dense growth with red fall foliage lasting longer than other
varieties. Prefers acidic soil. Not a particularly dependable
tree for our area because of our yo-yo winters and alkaline
soils.
Max. Elev: 8,500 ft. RSM *2" B&B
Mature Ht: 50' & Spd: 35'

MAPLE, ROCKY MOUNTAIN GLOW®
Acer grandidentatum ‘Schmidt’
An outstanding tree form variety of Big Tooth Maple that
will shine in any landscape. A Rocky Mountain relative of
the sugar maple, this small tree has dark green foliage that
turns intense yellow to brilliant orange-red in autumn.
Extreme cold tolerance and grows well in our alkaline soils.
Max. Elev: 7,500 ft. RMG *2" B&B
Mature Ht: 25' & Spd: 15'

MAPLE, RUGGED CHARM Acer tataricum ‘JFS-KW2’
New for Year 2012
A fantastic charming compact small tree with huge personality.
Refined medium green foliage, white flowers in spring and
bright red samaras mid summer accompany the rich mix of
yellow, orange and bright red foliage in autumn. Great little
tree for small gardens and planting under utility lines.
Max. Elev: 9,000 ft. MRC *2" B&B
