Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium' Full Moon Japanese Maple
from $39.00
The large leaves on ‘Vitifolium’ are what give it its name as they resemble the leaves of a grape vine. These large leaves emerge green with a bronze hue before maturing to a darker green in late spring and into the summer. This tree also has more prominent flowers in the spring than most Japanese Maples. These small red flowers really stand out on the light green spring foliage. However, the fall is when ‘Vitifolium’ really shows out with a display of yellows and oranges and reds all over the tree. ‘Vitifolium’ is a strong and fast grower that will reach 10-15 feet tall in about 10 years. The sturdy branching and round topped form give this tree a wonderful look for the garden. While ‘Vitifolium’ can handle full sun in cooler areas, it prefers filtered light or partial shade in warmer climates. ‘Vitifolium’ has also received the RHS Award of Garden Merit. 10 Year Size: 10-15 ft tall 8-10 ft wideSpring Color: Light green with bronze hueSummer Color: GreenFall Color: Array of yellows, oranges, and redsSun Tolerance: Partial ShadePlanting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil
Acer palmatum 'Red Pygmy' (Reverted)
from $39.00
'Red Pygmy' may not be the best named linearilobum but it is one of the best all around Japanese Maples. Although slower growing than some of the vigorous forms of linearilobum, 'Red Pygmy' can attain heights of more than 15 feet with age. While it comes out red in spring and may hold color into the summer in some areas, 'Red Pygmy' quickly turns green as temperatures begin to rise in hot climates. The green is a dark rich green throughout the summer then as a startling contrast this plant will turn bright yellow or gold in fall. 'Red Pygmy ' leaves have some of the narrowest lobes of the red linearilobums often having an interesting twist in the lobe. 'Red Pygmy' tolerates sun well. The changes in color and the very graceful shape make this a must have plant for collectors and occasional gardeners alike.
These trees are not displaying their usual characteristics, but they are still great looking Japanese maples. In my experience reverted trees still display typical fall colors regardless of the shape of the leaves. These trees are also not guaranteed to never regain their distinguishing characteristics, but they aren't currently showing it so it has to be noted.
Despite the uncharacteristic leaves these trees have been some of the most beautiful trees in the nursery all spring. The pictures show these actual trees.

Acer palmatum 'Enkan' (Reverted)
from $39.00
Acer palmatum ‘Enkan’ has very fine linearilobum foliage and a small compact growth habit. More gardeners should find a spot for 'Enkan' in the garden. In spring foliage emerges a deep wine color and holds its red into the summer very well. Fall color ranges from orange red to deep red. Some palmate leaves appear on new growth but older foliage is quite narrow. It is very interesting the way leaves seem to hang downward from the petioles. This variety is said to come from South Korea but has a Japanese name that means the tube.
