New
cultivars and larger sizes:
Many newly grafted cultivars are added to our list after they leaf out around
mid-April. Others, including small, rare, and hard to graft cultivars, are
added in September. Once a cultiver sells out, it remains so until the following
spring.
Maples ordered in summer may have burned leaves, and look bad, but this is only temporary. Still, spring and especially fall are far better times to ship and plant than summer. We'll delay shipments when temperatures exceed 90 F.
A strange cultivar whose name means "Lonely Man". The unusual part is the leaf, which may have either 3 or 5 lobes, each one a different shape. On 3-lobed leaves, the center one predominates, and the other two are tiny spurs at the base, inspiring, I suppose, the name.The lobes themselves may have different degrees of incision and serration. Vertrees perfectly describes the resulting appearance as pleasingly "tattered". This effect is not very visible in the photograph, but develops more on older leaves, which become more elongated and toothed. New foliage is often edged in orange-red, and the fall color is scarlet. This is a small shrub to 5'. It is reasonably vigorous, having survived in cultivation since at least 1710.
Orders
placed between mid-March and mid-June may take 3 weeks to ship. For faster
service, order in the fall, an excellent time to plant. We can ship in winter,
but read this to see if
it's a good idea for you.
