This slow-growing, bushy form of Japanese maple boasts remarkable coloring. Soft pink to white spring leaves are flecked delicately with green dots. As the season progresses, the white parts turn pale yellow-green and the veins turn green, but the pink tone persists. Fall features orange, pink and crimson foliage. Extremely tender: provide semi-shade and protection. Ideal for a container.
|
This slow-growing Japanese maple reaches about 7' tall and 4' wide in ten years. Its cream and green leaves have purple tips and burgundy branchlets in the spring. Fall finds multiple shades of yellow and orange decorating the tree.

The name of this tall, shrubby Japanese maple means "gold calico cloth," a reference to the diversity of both leaf color and shape. Spring leaves display different intensities of red with contrasting green venation. In summer, green leaves have bronze highlights and in fall, the foliage ranges from yellow and orange to crimson. The medium size leaves have unusual forms too: each elongated lobe tapers to a narrow point and curls upward to form a rounded trough.
|
The leaves of this Japanese maple, which are somewhat dissected, produce a feathery appearance and a beautiful progression of color. In spring, the light-green leaves have a reddish cast; in summer, they turn green with orange-red tips and edges. This look persists until fall, when leaf colors range from gold to red. The slow-growing, bush-like selection may get as wide as tall.

A bat-wing maple. Like us, you've probably wanted one of these since you saw the awesome photos in Vertrees! An awesome variety with variegated bat-wing curled leaves. Incredibly difficult to propagate, therefore seldom seen.

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 slender, multi-branched Full Moon maple has a delicate look, but resists sunburn better than most maple species. In summer, the almost translucent green leaves combined with heavy yellow and red seeds make an attractive show. In fall, brilliant yellow, orange and red mark the season. A great tree for shrub or mixed plantings.

The foliage of this prized Full Moon maple virtually glows throughout the season. Especially in a site with filted light, the fan-shaped leaves emerge bright yellow in spring, then gradually soften to yellow-green, a color that holds all summer. In fall, bright yellow, orange and scarlet, might all appear on a single leaf. Colors are more subdued in a shady spot. Attractive branching is striking in winter.
|
Vigorous, versatile and unbelievably easy to grow, this small, dramatic Full Moon maple boasts orange-red highlights on yellow leaves. The unusual coloring, strongest in full sun, lasts from when leaves emerge in spring until they go rich orange-red in fall. In shade, leaves start out with orange-red highlights, and settle on yellow in early summer.
