Acer palmatum 'Ornatum' Dwarf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
One of the older dissectums in cultivation in Europe having been grown for well over 100 years. It is still popular today although competition from varieties that hold color longer into summer has caused production to decrease. Emerging green dusted with red in shady areas to a rusty red in more sun, 'Ornatum' forms a large graceful shrub when mature. While very heat tolerant 'Ornatum' does prefer light shade in hot climates. The unusual thing is that this plant is one of the few red dissectums that turns orange or even yellow-orange in fall.10 Year Size: Height: 4-6 Feet Width 6-8 Feet
Acer palmatum 'Green Hornet' Green Dwarf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
'Green Hornet' is unusually fast growing for a lace leaf maple and because of this it can benefit greatly from pruning or training when young to get it started in the right direction. Shoots on newly grafted plants may grow 2 feet or more the first year. As the plant ages its vigorous growth becomes an asset creating a graceful plant with long arching branches. Spring growth is lime green sometimes with orange margins when placed in more sun, however at least partial shade is preferred in hotter climates. Fall color is stunning and bright red which is quite rare for green dissectums which usually display yellow to orange fall color. 10 Year Size: Height: 4-6 Feet Width: 7-9 FeetSpring Color: Lime GreenSummer Color: GreenFall Color: RedSun Tolerance: PartialPlanting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil
Acer palmatum 'Sekimori' Dwarf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
'Sekimori' is known as much for the attractive white striations on the bark as it is for its gracefully growth habit which unlike many dissectums, is slightly more prostrate than pendulous. Fall color is usually a nice pastel yellow but in more sun will have orange tones mixed through the leaves.10 Year Size: Height: 3-4 Feet Width: 5-7 Feet

Acer palmatum 'Hana Matoi' Variegated Lace Leaf Japanese Maple (Pre-Order)
from $49.00
Hana matoi is probably the most exciting new Japanese Maple ever to hit the American market. The pink variegation is phenomenal. The variegation holds up well even in our hot climate and so far, it does not seem to revert like some of the other variegated varieties. The spring foliage emerges purple with cream and pink variegation. As the temperatures rise heading into summer the base color changes from purple to green but the wonderful pink and cream variegation remain all summer.

Acer palmatum 'Dixie Spirit' Upright Lace Leaf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
Acer palmatum ‘Dixie Spirit’ is one of several different dissectum varieties that grows more upright rather than weeping. My father once told me that if anyone could ever discover a red version of ‘Seiryu’, then they would be a millionaire. While, I’ve learned that this was probably hyperbole, I have long been searching for a tree that fit this description. There are several trees currently on the market that come close such as ‘Lionheart’ and ‘English Lace’ but neither of these varieties have quite the same upward growth as ‘Seiryu’.‘Dixie Spirit’ is our introduction that fits into this category. ‘Dixie Spirit’ grows decidedly upright at least while young. We are still monitoring the tree to see if the upright habit continues in perpetuity. ‘Dixie Spirit’ shows off a gorgeous crimson red color in the spring while fading to a bronze or olive green in the summer. This tree shows out once again in the fall with bright red foliage. ‘Dixie Spirit’ can handle full sun even in Georgia with minimal leaf burn. 10 Year Size: Height: 8-10 feet Width: 4-6 feet
Acer palmatum 'Washi-no-o' Green Lace Leaf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
The leaf of 'Washi-no-o’ is a little more coarse than some dissectums and the margins of each lobe are cut more regularly and less deep than most dissectums giving it a very unique texture. This mounding shrub type maple tolerates more sun than most green lace leafs. I have even grown this cultivar in full sun in Atlanta, Georgia but some shade would be appreciated. Fall color, which is always spectacular if sometimes a little later than some other maples, is usually bright yellow, although sometimes in sunnier locations the yellow will be mixed with orange.10 year size: Height: 3-4 Feet Width: 5-7 FeetSpring Color: GreenSummer Color: GreenFall Color: YellowSun Tolerance: PartialPlanting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil
Acer palmatum 'Bronzewing' Lace Leaf Japanese Maple
from $49.00

from $39.00
‘Chantilly Lace’ was found at Red Maple Nursery in 1949 and introduced by Billy Shwartz. This great Japanese maple with the Rock and Roll name has very finely cut leaves. New growth appears red but very quickly changes to green from the center of the leaf out. This effect gives the plant almost a variegated appearance. By summer the foliage is light green almost chartreuse and contrasts greatly with other green maples that start yellow-green only to darken as summer approaches. Fall color is bright raspberry red. 'Chantilly Lace' grows into an irregular mound, some pruning of unruly branches will add to it's appeal.10 Year Size: Height: 4-6 feet Width: 6-8 feetSpring Color: PeachSummer Color: GreenFall Color: Raspberry RedSun Tolerance: Shade Planting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil

Acer palmatum 'Baldsmith' Lace Leaf Japanese Maple
from $39.00
In spring, ‘Baldsmith’ has leaves that emerge much more of a deep red than the burgundy color of most "red" Japanese Maples. Soon after, most of the leaf turns green leaving just the margins a very attractive red. The red and green of the bi color leaf at this stage makes the overall tree appear almost orange and gives it a very distinctive appearance. In some climates this look lasts well into the summer but in hotter climates where some afternoon shade would be greatly appreciated, 'Baldsmith' fades to green as summer takes hold. Fall color ranges from yellow to red to orange.Height: 4-6 Feet Width 6-8 Feet in ten yearsSpring Color: RedSummer Color: Green Fall Color: OrangeSun tolerance: PartialPlanting: Elevated, Well Drained Soil
