Winter Flame - Matsumurae - green - An attractive tree for all seasons.<br />

cultivar exhibits 7 lobed deeply divided leaves with special basal lobes<br />
that protrude backwards and outwards. The 3 middle lobes are ovatetriangular<br />
shaped with downward pointing tips. Juvenile spring growth<br />
of pale lime-green is beautifully contrasted with pink-red multi-branches.<br />

in <strong>the</strong> fall to a syn<strong>the</strong>sis of handsome yellow-orange-red tones, suffused<br />
with light red. A great tree for container growing as well as a rockery<br />

widely separated. Juvenile foliage is somewhat yellow-green in color<br />
with undertones of bright rose margins that shade into each lobe, with <strong>the</strong><br />
exception of <strong>the</strong> midriff, which always remains green. The rose tones<br />

gardens and containers. (3’- 7’) Sun or part shade. 2’- 3’ $80.00<br />
A. griseum - Paperbark - The thin peeling, cinnamon colored bark is<br />
<strong>the</strong> hallmark of <strong>the</strong> paperback maple. The tree is very smooth in places<br />
where <strong>the</strong> bark has peeled away. Some curls of peeling bark remain<br />
attached to create a richly textured appearance, especially in <strong>the</strong> winter.<br />
The bark begins to exfoliate when <strong>the</strong> tree is young. Outstanding fall<br />
colors of yellow, orange, and red lasting longer than most maples. Spring<br />
leaves emerge blue-green on this slender, multistemmed, upright growing<br />
tree. Excellent landscape plant. (20’- 30’) Sun or part shade. 3’- 4’<br />

A. pseudoplatanus - Eskimo Sunset - These tremendously variegated<br />
green, pink, creamy white leaves, are 3”- 5” wide with 5 lobes and<br />
prominent veining. The underside is a reddish-purple color . The<br />
Sycamore maple group that also has this same red-purple color beneath<br />
is called Atropurpureum (Spaethii). This medium sized columnar tree,<br />
with a broad top, grows 10’ tall x 5’ wide in 10 years. Place this wonderfully<br />
unique tree in some PM shade to hold leaf color and prevent some<br />
color fading. It is hardy to -5°F. 2’- 3’ $75.00, 5’- 6’ $175.00<br />
A. sieboldianum ‘Mikasa Yama’ - This upright, well-branching cultivar<br />
is not widely grown because it is ra<strong>the</strong>r average in appearance, so <strong>the</strong>y<br />
say. The juvenile pale green foliage is covered with short, fine and soft<br />
hairs, giving <strong>the</strong> appearance of a frosty mist on each leaf. As <strong>the</strong> leaves<br />
mature that mist disappears leaving only <strong>the</strong> petioles with that distinction.<br />
Bright autumn tones of fall are highlighted by golden-yellow overtones,<br />
infused with crimson. The 7-9 lobed green leaves are cut halfway<br />
to <strong>the</strong> center with rapidly narrowed sharp points on each lobe and sharply<br />
serrated margins. (13’- 20’) Sun. 4’- 5’ $85.00<br />
