ACER
rubrum 'Northwood' Selected from a northern Minnesota seed source by the University of Minnesota, this culitvar is particularly hardy. Which, to be honest, is irrelevant in this country anyway! From £22.50 |

ACER rubrum
'October Glory' This cultivar originated in New Jersey USA in 1961 and is upright in habit. We grow these trees for their gorgeous autumn colour, and this one certainly gives value for money as it tends to hold the leaves longer into the autumn than many. The fantastic fiery crimson and dark orange red autumn colour develops reliably in less favourable sites too. From £22.50 Fantastic Specimens available - please ask for price and size details. |

Acer rubrum 'Red
King' I can't find any detail about this one; suffice it to say that it has excellent red autumn colour! Actually it stood out this last autumn as being something rather special. It also branched more freely than most, though as it is still relatively new to us, I will reserve judgement as to whether that is typical of the cultivar or just the way they grew this year. Definitely one for the future though. From £22.50 |

rubrum 'Summer Red' It can be difficult to differentiate between these spectacular trees, so this one is particularly exciting. The summer foliage is quite definitely suffused with purple to make it really stand out in the landscape.

ACER rufinerve 'Albolimbatum' An attractive small bushy tree with the leaves strongly variegated with white, particularly at the margins. The bark is usually green, but in winter becomes violet purple with white striations and a white bloom. The best colour is shown by mature plants and those on poor soil. Not available this season |

ACER rufinerve
'Erythrocladum' A real rarity, this was actually introduced in this country back in the 50's! A slow growing shrub with orange-yellow winter bark beneath a white bloom. Several of our customers have described it as "ghostly"! Sold out |

ACER rufinerve
'Winter
Gold' This is almost indistinguishable from Acer rufinerve 'Erythrocladum' (perhaps it is a fancy name for the same thing?) Here the winter bark colour is an amazing shade of amber with faint white striations and a ghostly silver sheen. Truly remarkable. Sold out |
