Acer palmatum 'Anticipation' Red Lace Leaf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
Acer palmatum ‘Anticipation’ is a Maple Ridge Nursery introduction that we have had some fun with over the past few years. It is a beautiful red lace leaf that seems to have an irregular growth habit. It’s most unique feature however, is how late this tree emerges in the spring. This is where the name ‘Anticipation comes from. ‘Anticipation’ routinely waits until the middle to end of April here in Georgia to leaf out, easily the last cultivar at our nursery to do so. There were many years that we thought the tree was dead because it had been so long. This may not seem like a benefit at first, but this trait protects ‘Anticipation’ from any late freezes or frosts. Regardless of the tree’s quirks, ‘Anticipation’ is a beautiful Japanese maple that has excellent red color in the spring that holds quite well throughout the summer even in the heat. Fall color is then a nice bright red. The growth habit is still something we are evaluating, but thus far to have a rather unique shape while becoming the same size as most other Japanese maples in this category. 10 Year Size: Height: 4-6 feet Width: 4-6 feet

Cryptomeria japonica 'Yellow Twig' Japanese Cedar
from $29.00
$35.00
'Yellow Twig' is a pyramidal Japanese cedar that will thrive in either full sun or dark shade. In sun the new growth will be light green and the older foliage will be medium green. In shade the new growth will be more chartreuse, almost glowing, and the older foliage will be darker green. The name actually comes from the color of the stems of the new growth rather than the color of the foliage itself. Very fast growing when young, 'Yellow Twig' seems too slow down with age. Old plants can attain heights over 20 Feet. The best plants I have seen were pruned some when young to thicken them up and then pretty much left alone.
