A. p. 'Beni hoshi'
UPRIGHT DWARF  •  3-4'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE
Red, round and palmate leaves grow heavily on this rare dwarf. The leaves have bright green veins that stand out till green seeps in through out. Fall brings a wonderful surprise: rich golden coloration. Tree habit is upright and full with short, rigid branches. #1 @ 38.50


A. p. 'Beni kawa'
UPRIGHT  •  18' - 20'  •  ZONE 5 – 8  •  PART SHADE
Standing out brightly in the winter garden, the red branches of 'Beni kawa' add color and excitement to dreary days. In spring small green leaves are dipped in red. Glimmering gold and umber leaves cling like clusters of crystals to fall's red twigs. Fast growing; should be pruned regularly. #1 @ $30.00; #2 @ $45.00


A. p. 'Beni maiko'
UPRIGHT  •  6'-7'  •  ZONE 6-8  •  SUN TO PT SHADE
Beni maiko brashly breaks winters dormancy in knock-out reddish pink. Small palmate leaves dance an exuberent jig on spring breezes, earning this cultivar the name "red haired dancing girl". She changes costume to apple-green with red accents for summer and again to a mix of reds and soft oranges for fall. She thrives in sun or shade, in the border, yard or container. #2 @ $45.00; l10" sizes available @ $65.00 & $75.00


A. p. 'Beni shichihenge'
UPRIGHT  •  7-9'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PT SHADE
Vibrant pink edges highlight multi-shaped, lime-green leaves. The pink holds well, fading slightly to cream by late summer. Fall reds are distinctly two toned. This variegated, finely branched shrub is best where it can be admired up close. Many consider it not only more colorful but also hardier than the similar selection, 'Butterfly'. # 2 @ $45.00; larger sizes available @ 65.00 & 75.00


A. p. 'Beni ubi gohan'
UPRIGHT DWARF  •  3-5'  •  5-8  •  FULL SUN TO PART SHADE
Reportedly, the smallest of the linearlobum maples, this spreading dwarf makes a handsome container specimen as well as being an asset in a perennial bed. It may also be appropriately selected for bonsai. Leaves are deep red when they emerge; later they become a bronzed green before turning scarlet in fall. The large leaves typical of new growth on linearlobums have a greater impact on 'Beni ubi gohan' due to its overall small size. larger plants available @ 85.00 & 95.00


A. p. 'Bihou'
UPRIGHT  •  6' - 9'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE
NEW and exciting cultivar from Japan! Tree has bright yellow branches in the winter and yellow leaves in fall. Spring and summer color is green. This is a small tree with small leaves and upright habit so it makes a great four season choice for a small space or to add structure to a large perennial bed. #1 @ 40.00; #2 @ $55.00


A. p. 'Bloodgood'
UPRIGHT  •  20' - 25'  •  ZONE 5 – 8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE
Large red palmate leaves hold their color well into summer before greening up in August. 'Bloodgood' is the best known of the many available Japanese maples. This is dependable, graceful, and vigorous. Its carmine red samaras (seed pods) add a striking contrast to the deep bronze-red of late summer leaves. Fall color is scarlet. #1 @ $30.00; #2 @ $45.00; larger sizes available @ $60.00-$80.00


A. p. 'Bonfire'
UPRIGHT  •  7' - 10'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE
Unfolding a rich, brilliant pink, small leaves attract great admiration; in summer they turn green only to show off in red again for fall. It is a vigorous grower with small, delicate branches. #2 @ $45.00; larger sizes available


A. p. 'Burgundy Lime Lace'
UPRIGHT  •  8-12'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE
This new introduction is similar to 'Burgundy Lace' but the foliage turns green sooner in summer and the fall colors are a rainbow mix of red green and gold. #2 @ $50.00


A. p. 'Butterfly'
UPRIGHT  •  7'-10'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN TO PT SHADE
Flirting with the breeze like gossamer wings, the irregular leaves of this cultivar cavort happily bedecked in mint green with cream borders and a tinge of pink in spring. Fall sets off a metamorphosis to rose and magenta. Growth is twiggy and dense; pruning will open the tree up if you prefer. #1 @ $30.00; #2 @ $45.00; larger available $60.00-85.00


A. p. 'Caperci Dwarf'
BROAD DWARF  •  3-4'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE
Tiny star-shaped leaves begin as bright pink and change to green. In fall they are washed in amber and rose. This is a short but spreading plant. #2 @ 50.00


A. p. 'Chishio Improved'
UPRIGHT  •  12-14'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  FULL SUN TO PART SHADE
Now called 'Shin chishio'. Stunning pink in spring, emerald green in summer and flame red in fall, this small leafed tree is a highly desirable choice. It grows wider than tall with leaves that are palmate and profuse. You can leave it as a mass of brilliant color or prune it to show its interior architecture. #2 @ $45.00; larger sizes available from $65.00 to 95.00
