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.

Acer palmatum 'Utsu Semi' Green Japanese Maple
from $49.00
Amazingly short lobes for an Acer palmatum give 'Utsu semi' and unbeatable texture that contrasts well with almost everything in the garden. Add to that the vivid light green color in spring and you get a must have show stopper of a plant. 'Utsu semi' translates to grasshopper like skin. In summer leaves darken slightly but would still be considered light green. In fall the leaves turn orange to purple while the leaf veins remain green giving it a striking affect. Requires shade in warmer climates. 'Utsu semi' is rather slow growing and a little difficult to propagate so it is rather rare in the nursery trade. This little round topped tree will generally be as wide or wider than tall with age.
