Acer shirasawanum
Yasemin
New
cultivars:
Some newly offered cultivars MAY be added to our list after they leaf out
around mid-April. Others, including small, rare, and hard to graft cultivars,
may be added in September. Once a cultivar 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.
Although tentatively
called Acer shirasawanum, this may be a cross of Acer shirasawanum
'Palmatifolium' with--you guessed it--Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'.
The result is a beautifully-colored, slender, upright tree to about
30' tall and 10' wide. The leaves have long, deeply dissected, finely
serrated lobes. Showy red fall color. The seeds stand upright, which
is typical of a shirasawanum. Named for Mirte Yasemin van Gelderen,
daughter and granddaugher of the owners of the famous maple nursery
Firma Esveld, in Holland.
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.
