| ACER palmatum
'Orange Dream' This recent Italian introduction is one of my top ten! The spring growth is a bright orange (though less vivid than Katsura) followed by wonderful rich golden summer colour. Resplendent red and orange autumn colours complete the display. Upright habit and vigorous when young. Not the easiest plant to site as too much shade will loose the intensity of colour whilst too much sun (in relation to the moisture retentiveness of your soil) can bleach or even burn them, but worth the effort to get it right. 4m From £25.00 Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

ACER palmatum
'Õ sakazuki' One of the best palmatums for autumn colour, with fiery displays of crimsons and oranges lasting for two weeks or more. At potentially 10cm across, the leaves are some of the biggest too, flushed rose when opening before becoming rich green. Beware of inferior seedlings! Our material came from the beautiful mature trees at the Savill Gardens, Windsor. The photo here shows the amazing fruits which are reliably produced by this cultivar. 4m From £25.00 Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

'Oshû shidare' A wonderful plant of distinct cascading habit as 'Omureyama'. The purple leaves of spring become bronze purple with green undertones in summer, and red in autumn. Very rare! From £25.00 |

ACER palmatum
'Oto hime' Very similar to Acer palmatum 'Komache hime', 'Mapi-no-machi hime' or 'Murasaki kiyohime' A compact growing shrub, which is surprisingly vigorous when young. The fresh green leaves develop yellow autumn colours, then leave a wonderfully architectural structure once they drop. Not available this season - see the alternative similar cultivars highlighted above. |

ACER palmatum
'Otome zakura' At first glance, this small bushy tree is very much in the same vein as 'Corallinum' - however, there is more to it than that! It has the same wonderful bright pink new growth, which is held well for several weeks before turning into a maroon red. Although I must say that the exact colour will be influenced, if not determined, by the light levels. Colours will be richer on a sunny site. The difference is in the shape of the leaves - there are two kinds on the same tree. Larger, typically palmatum shaped leaves occur on on newer, more vigorous shoots. The centre lobes are larger with the side lobes much smaller, separated two-thirds of the way to the leaf base. On older, more twiggy shoots, the leaves are completely different; having long narrow lobes that are almost parallel and only slightly broader in the middle. From £28.00 |

ACER palmatum 'Peaches and Cream' I love this one! It was selected as a seedling from 'Shigitatsu sawa' in Australia in 1980. The familiar reticulate variegation is overlaid with tones of pink and salmon. Shrubby in growth and difficult to grow, so avoid too much sun. 1-2m Specimens only this season - please ask for price and size details. |

palmatum 'Peve Multicolour'
A variegated cultivar with a difference - rather intermediate between the true variegated group and the reticulate group. Orangey-pink emerging leaves mature to cream overlaid with green speckles, all highlighted with dramatic green veining. Shade is essential for this one. From £25.00 |
