True to its name that means "green spreading," this laceleaf Japanese maple only gets about 3" tall, but can spread out much wider. More prostrate than other mounding forms, it can survive beneath snow in colder climates and looks great in the foreground of a landscape where it can spread out. Dark green, dissected foliage goes gold and crimson in fall. Dissectum.
|
A truly unique dwarf Japanese maple, this cultivar produces layers of small leaves that overlap each other because of close leaf spacing and short petioles. The effect is striking: a very dense, compact plant with a diverse range of leaf size and color. New growth seems to include the whole color spectrum between yellow and green, with older growth turning dark glossy green. In fall, a different color range takes over, spanning the range between yellow and scarlet. Excellent for small landscapes.

This unique Japanese maple, first recorded in 1704, has three distinctive qualities. Its rich green leaf lobes curl and roll upward to almost form tapering tubes. The distinctly vase-like form has contrasting features: a sturdy, erect stature with compact clusters of leaves and delicate twigs. Finally, the fall foliage can become such an intense yellow as to be nearly fluorescent.
|
Leaves emerge with orange and red highlights before they turn green. The very clean green leaves have red petioles. Fall colors are vibrant reds and yellows.

Popular since the late nineteenth century, this tried and true Japanese maple has large, green, slightly cupped leaves for which it is named. ('O sakazuki' means "leaf like a sake cup.")

This unusual green Japanese maple has an incredibly pendulous habit, with slender, weeping shoots growing as much as six feet a year! Trained to a desired height, the selection cascades much more intensely than 'Jiro shidare,' which used to be considered the most remarkable weeping broadleaf. Palm-shaped spring leaves emerge yellow-green, change to dark green during summer, and end with orange to red in fall. This is likely the same as 'Ryusen'.
|
Highly regarded for its outstanding, almost fluorescent coral bark, this upright, spreading Japanese maple produces a fabulous show all four seasons. Red margins decorate the yellow-green spring leaves that gradually change to bright green in summer. Yellow-gold and apricot shades produce a striking fall show. The bark, with colors that intensify as winter approaches, brightens up gray days and glows against snow. Youngest wood bears the strongest color. 'Sango kaku' means "coral tower."

|
The long, flowing leaves and side branches of this green laceleaf Japanese maple cascade down and account for its name. With longer and larger leaves than 'Viridis,' the hardy, beautiful mound also handles full sun better, its bright green holding well all season. Spectacular fall color, gold highlighted with red, concludes the seasonal show. Dissectum.

A dwarf form of Sango kaku that is not only smaller, but also more compact. Leaves are green in summer, yellow and orange in fall.
|
Described by F.L. Temple as "exhibiting towering shafts of foliage" - heavily contrasting the spreading habit of the species. This tree is about 3' wide when 30' tall, unbelievably narrow. This is likely the same variety as 'Temple's Upright' and there is some confusion between this variety and 'Monumentale' - both of which are unbelievably narrow. 'Newton Sentry' has major and minor vertical branches with short, stubby lateral branches - in sum, this trees is incredible, and although it has been around since the 1860's it is RARELY seen as it is very difficult to propagate. A necessity in any serious collection.

|
The attractive shape and open habit of this Full Moon maple make it a good garden specimen. In spring and summer, bright green leaves decorate the tree, and in fall, excellent oranges and reds add pizzazz. The moderately fast growing tree can handle full sun in most sites.

This unique, weeping Full Moon maple has tiny, lacy, light green leaves shaped like nearly circular snowflakes. Leaves develop orange margins in full sun and turn a blend of yellow and orange in fall. Thought to be a cross between palmatum and shirasawanum maples, the low, wide tree has characteristics of both. Its red flowers and upright chartreuse-pink seeds point to shirasawanum parentage; the dissected foliage looks like a laceleaf palmatum parent. Dissectum.
|
Glossy green leaves have rolled lobe margins similar to Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg.' Foliage and fruit are light green. Fall color is orange-red and gold.
