A. p. 'Oridono nishiki' UPRIGHT  •  15' - 18'  •  ZONE 5 – 8  •  SUN – PART SHADE Splashed with pink and white on both stems and leaves, this tree makes an excellent choice for an upright, variegated tree. Fall reveals a multitude of reds and pinks. It gets to be a tall tree and requires a little pruning. Part shade protects the pink and white from burning while some direct sun enhances the coloration. Too much fertilizer diminishes the variegation. #1 @ $30.00; # 2 @ $45.00; larger trees available in 10" containers @ $60.00 to $95.00

A. p. 'Osakazuki' UPRIGHT  •  15' - 18'  •  ZONE 5 – 8  •  SUN – PART SHADE Burning pure red leaves on this cultivar have illuminated the late season hills of Japan for centuries and none have matched it yet. Chosen not only for its brilliant fall color, but also for its huge, mossy-green, summer leaves, its good form, strong branches and toughness. #1 @ $30.00; #2 @ $45.00; available in 10" containers @ 60.00 to $85.00

A. p. 'Otome zakura' UPRIGHT  •  5-8'  •  5-8  •  SUN – PART SHADE An unusual dwarf with two distinct types of leaves on long petioles and bright colors of red and pink in spring, green accented with red in summer and pink mixed with scarlet for fall. This is a fine, small tree which works well in a perennial border or grouped with other, larger trees. #2 @ $55.00; 10" container trees available at 65.00 & 75.00

A. p. 'Pixie' UPRIGHT DWARF  •  4'-5'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN TO PT SHADE As the weeks pass, the bright pink-red of spring leaves darkens to a deep rich burgundy. The underside of the leaves, visible when the wind rustles through them, is a contrasting green-bronze. This fat, round, dwarf bears deeply divided and serrated leaves that angle slightly backward. Fall color is crimson. #1@ $35.00; specimen 10" container trees @ $115.00.

A. p. 'Purple Ghost' UPRIGHT  •  10-15'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE Swirls of deep purple and wine red permeate the ruffled leaves of this mysterious beauty. Fall brings out a fierce red. Growth is upright and slightly open. #1 @ $38.50; larger spec available

A. p. 'Red Cloud' UPRIGHT  •  12'-15'  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE Linear leaves rain down from a billowing, rounded crown of deep, end-of-sunset red. This selection is both fuller and wider spreading than other red linearlobums. # 2 @ 5.000; larger specimens available in 10" containers @ 75.00

A. p. 'Red Emperor' UPRIGHT  •  20-25  •  ZONE 5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE Similar to 'Bloodgood', this tree excels in red color retention, cold hardiness and vigor. Grows to a wide crowned specimen. Because it leafs out two weeks later than other cultivars it is being grown with success in zone 4. #1 @ $30.00; #2 @ $45.00; 10" container sizes available

A. p. 'Red Falcon' UPRIGHT  •  8-10'  •  5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE The leaves of this red upright tree are reminiscent of a spidery starfish; they are very deeply divided with long, slender, slightly serrated lobes. (pictures coming later) #2 @ 50.00

A. p. 'Rugose' UPRIGHT  •  6'-8'  •  5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE Very unusual leaves have rough, almost blistery surface; they are olive green with red veins and stems most of the year then they turn an unusual bright wine red in fall. Nothing about this plant is quite normal, sort of like some people we all know. Leaves, lobes and stems twist and contort slightly but still apparently. #1 @ 30.00

A. p. 'Ruslyn in the Pink' UPRIGHT  •  8-10'  •  5-8  •  SUN-PT SHADE This specimen has a unique pink-red color in spring and in its new growth later in the season. Backlit trees elicit a 'Wow!' Late summer it bronzes out till fall which brings on the bright reds of fine silks. #1 @ $35.00

A. p. 'Ryuzu' UPRIGHT DWARF  •  3-5  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE Small leaves fold or cup inward and grow very close together on the branches so that these dwarfs have unusual texture and character. Summer color is green and fall starts out gold but flashes into bright red. #2 @ $50.00

A. p. 'Saku' UPRIGHT  •  7-10'  •  5-8  •  SUN TO PART SHADE Purple rimmed leaves of spring give way to glossy green in summer and burnt amber and orange in fall. Matures to a small upright tree with tiered branches. larger specimens available @ 65.00 & 75.00
