Interesting variegation and varied leaf shape distinguish this slow-growing, upright Japanese maple. Light green new leaves emerge with lipstick red margins; as the basic leaf color turns bluish-green, the margins fade to creamy white with a pink-orange blush. Leaf shapes vary too: some are slender and uniform; others are contorted and wider. Fall produces a bright orange and gold display.
|
Leaves emerge raspberry red and darken to purple as they elongate. Leaves have twisted lobes with a very thin cream outline. The appearance of reddish new leaves on top of the bronzed interior foliage give the tree a "red smoke" appearance, which is the translation of the name.

A unique, very slow-growing Japanese maple, this dwarf green cultivar has very narrow, string-like leaves, not much wider than leaf veins. More sturdy than its deceptively delicate look would suggest, 'Fairy Hair' is a selection that will be less than 3 feet tall in 10 years.

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.

Distinguished by dramatic variegation and deeply divided, narrow leaf lobes, this hardy, bushy Japanese maple deserves a prime location. If sited in full sun, spring leaves will display creamy veins against a purple background; with less sun, green veins stand out against a bright pink background. Regardless, the incredibly showy variegation lasts well into summer, and in fall, bright orange leaves contrast the green veins.
