Heating up !

 

Acer griseum, PAPERBARK MAPLE, Z 5,6,7, Bark

Mature height - 25'x15', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Med., Origin - China

Fall Color - scarlet-orange

Every tree lover should have one of these, a default bark tree. Propagation difficulties, and slower growth than say 'Red Maple' makes them a bit more expensive, but don't settle for a quick cheap fix. Select quality. This is perhaps our favorite medium large landscape tree. Exquisite peeling coppery bark, that if one is giving to taking winter walks stands out in the landscape. Leaf shows good scarlet-orange fall color.

Barks only going to get better. Turning fall.

Acer palmatum, var. atropurpurea, Z 5,6,7,8, Bonzai

Mature height - 15'x12', Growth - Slow, Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med.., Origin - Japan

Fall Color - red-yellow-orange

One can be quite overcome by the amount of 'cultivars' of JAPANESE MAPLE. Green trees have been culled from these seed raised trees to insure good color. You will have your own unique one of a kind tree ! Yes the burgundy color may or may not dull in summer heat, but as the weather starts to cool we will insure a great fall color display. Great garden trees, specimens or underneath something larger.

Acer saccharum, SUGAR MAPLE, Z 4,5,6,7,8,

Mature height - 60'X45', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - Eastern US

Fall Color - amber-red

We could hardly not have the State tree of WV in our collection. This tree should not be overlooked in the rush of A.rubrum 'Cultivars'. Its amber-red fall color creates a magnificent effect, similar to a glowing log fire, and earlier than others, when you are still enjoying the outside.Not  forgetting that this is the prime source of Maple syrup. A classic native.

Burning embers.

Acer triflorum, THREE FLOWERED MAPLE, Z4,5,6,7,8, Bark

Mature height - 30'X20', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med.., Origin - Korea

Fall Color - yellow-red

The US National Arboretum in DC is a refreshing place for tree nuts to meet and see others  who share their passion. If you drive around the park, you will often see cars parked dangerously, their occupants running across a field camera in hand; after spotting a tree. This is the tree that occasioned for me the crazy park fever described above. A young specimen displaying tight curling bark similar to River Birch. With age the bark will become grayer and more plated but still handsome. Fall leaf color is similar to 'Sugar Maple'.
