ACER palmatum
'Eddisbury' I have to admit that this is only very subtly different to the better known Coral Bark Maple - 'Sangokaku' It is a British introduction dating back to 1970. Equally bright coral red bark colour but arguably a sturdier plant. 5m From £25.00 |

'Edna
Bergman' From Australia, the general appearance of this cultivar is reminiscent of 'Osakasuki', but to date we have found it more vigorous as a young plant. In the autumn it stood out over all others as having the darkest red autumn colour. An excellent strong and well behaved plant. 4-5m From £25.00 Fantastic Open-ground Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

'Enkan' Of the Linearilobum group with narrow, strap like leaves, this is a gorgeous Japanese selection. The rich wine-red colouring is held well all season. Upright in habit to 2m - as with others in this group, excess fertiliser can result in strong growth not showing the true graceful leaf shape. From £25.00 Fantastic Open-ground Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

ACER palmatum
'Fascination' It is thought that this distinctive cultivar may be derived from A. japonicum 'Aconitifolium', based on its shape and habit. It is fast growing, with large bright coarsely serrated green leaves up to 10cm across. These open yellow orange in spring and turn orange again in autumn. The bark is also attractive, being green with notable white striations. From £25.00 Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

ACER palmatum
'Fior d'Arancia' This Italian introduction is not widely documented. However, from observing our plant for a season or two, I would put it in the same group as "Chitoseyama". The young growth is a darker purple, lessening with maturity and the leaves are deeply lobed. Growth is sturdy - expect the mature plant to be of broad habit. Autumn colours are lovely reds. 4m Sold out |

ACER palmatum
'Fireglow' This Italian introduction is perhaps an improvement on 'Bloodgood' with bright deep purple leaves all summer. An upright small tree. Fantastic red autumn colour as you can see from the photo (left). 3-4m Fantastic Specimens only this season - please ask for price and size details. |

'First Ghost' I am indebted to Talon Buchholtz for sharing his "Ghost Series" with me. Part of the Reticulatum Group which I love anyway, this one opens with wonderful peachy colours before maturing to cream tipped with rose pink and highlighted with green veining. Delightful, but needing a shady spot. Fantastic Specimens only this season - please ask for price and size details. |

'Geisha' Imagine 'Ukigomo' washed with baby-pink and you arrive at this recently introduced cultivar, which is utterly delightful. Slow growing though, so perfect in a pot in a shady spot. 1m. Not available this season |

ACER palmatum 'Glowing Embers' If you have a hot garden, then this could be the maple for you! Selected (and still thriving) at the University of Georgia in southern USA, this cultivar is renown for its heat tolerance. Its also pleasingly fast growing, making a small tree of graceful, slightly arching habit. The leaves are classic palmatum in their shape, and turn from a restful green in summer to a kaleidoscope of colour in autumn. The young plants of these are on their own roots, which is a very exciting development. From £25.00 Fantastic Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

'Golden Pond' The name is intended to conjure images of a golden lake...since this cultivar will grow considerably wider than tall and develops bright golden yellow autumn colour. Through the summer it is mid-green, but I notice a bronze tinge to the young growth which is quite distinctive. Otherwise it is similar in leaf shape and colouring to 'Hogyoku' - though the habit is quite the opposite. From £25.00 Specimens also available - please ask for price and size details. |

palmatum 'Grace' One of a number of brilliant recent introductions, clearly hybrids between Acer palmatum and Acer shirasawanum, but classified under the former...which I confess to finding annoying. Full description to follow... From £28.00 |
