Japanese Maples and Conifers

Acer palmatum ‘Winter Red’ is a wonderful coral bark Japanese maple with bright red bark especially in the winter. The leaves emerge light green in the spring and contrast very well off the bright red bark. The leaves darken and the bark lightens as summer arrives. In fall, the leaves of ‘Winter Red’ become a bright, golden yellow that really stand out in the landscape. ‘Winter Red’ does not grow nearly as large as similar coral barks like ‘Sango Kaku’ or ‘Beni kawa’, making it an excellent coral bark for nearly any location. 10 Year Size: Height: 8-10 feet Width: 4-6 feet

Acer palmatum ‘Peve Multicolor’ is a tremendous variegated variety of Japanese maple with white dusting across the foliage. Unfortunately, this variegation is inconsistent and does not appear every year. Without the variegation, ‘Peve Multicolor’ has light green leaves and an attractive form. This seems to be the more common look for us. Our Peve Multicolor are not currently showing variegation. Fall color is going to be a brilliant yellow to orange regardless of the variegation. 10 Year Size: Height: 8-10 feet Width: 4-6 feet

Acer palmatum ‘Little Sango’ is a dwarf, coral bark Japanese Maple. ‘Little Sango’ has many of the same characteristics of the popular Sango kaku but on a much smaller tree. ‘Little Sango’ will only grow to be about 4 feet tall with a dense, bushy habit. ‘Little Sango’ has light green leaves in the spring and summer that turn to a golden yellow in the fall.

With unusually large leaves for a tree considered dwarf, 'Green Elf' works well as a container tree or a smaller specimen in the garden. The large leaves almost look like a shirasawanum leaf.  New growth emerges light green in spring covered with a white pubescence. Summer leaves are darker green before turning mostly yellow in fall.10 year size: Height: 4-6 feet   Width: 3-5 feet    

 Acer palmatum ‘Emerald Sunset’ is another of the red finger nail maples. With purple tips to the leaves in spring, ‘Emerald Sunset’ is one of the most eye catching trees in the spring. ‘Emerald Sunset’ does a good job of keeping these purple tips well into the summer as well, especially in cooler climates. ‘Emerald Sunset’ is a relatively small growing tree that should only reach about 8 feet tall at maturity.10 Year Size: Height: 6-8 feet Width: 4-6 feet

Acer palmatum ‘Lozita’ has beautiful dark burgundy leaves with green veins and a luxurious rounded shape. This shrubby maple matures wider than tall. Bright red petioles and samaras complete the package to make an exceptionally attractive maple. Fall color is scarlet. ‘Lozita’ is the perfect option for a red upright that does not get very tall. 10 Year Size:  Height 7-9 Feet Width 7-9 Feet

Pinus parviflora ‘Fukai’ is a small, upright growing Japanese white pine with variegated needles. The green needles have bands of golden yellow across them creating a striking appearance in the foliage. There are many times during the year that the foliage is a more standard blueish green, but when the variegation shows, this tree really pops. The needles are also a little thicker with a wavy flow. ‘Fukai’ is a fairly fast grower that matures to about 6 feet tall. However, like most other pines, ‘Fukai’ can be candle pruned to keep a shorter, denser form. 10 Year Size: Height: 6-8 feet Width: 4-6 feet

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Sprialiter falcata’ is a dwarf form of Japanese cedar with an upright, conical habit. ‘Spiraliter falcata’ will eventually develop into a full shrubby conifer. The unusual thing about this plant is the irregular, twisting branches that spiral and twirl all over. This phenomenon is most common at the tips of the branches. This is one of the more unique varieties of Cryptomeria that we grow. 10 Year Size: Height: 4-6 feet Width: 2-4 feet

Picea orientalis 'Compacta' is a dwarf Oriental Spruce with attractive, glossy green foliage. This dwarf spruce has a compact, pyramidal form. 'Compacta' can be grown in partial sun in most climates.  10 Year Size: Height: 3-5 feet   Width: 3-5 feet
