Davidsans Japanese Maples

The most common and best known of all Japanese Maples, including:
Palmatum Group (Moderately divided leaf lobes)
Matsumurae Group (Deeply divided leaf lobes)
Linearilobum (Narrow leaf lobes, strap-like and bamboo-like)

Dissectum actually is a group in the Palmatum species, but it is so different from the other Palmatums that I'm making it a separate section. Dissectums are also known as lace leaf or cut leaf. Leaf lobes are deeply divided and deeply dissected into sublobes. The trees are generally weeping spreaders, but a few are semi-upright to upright.

Dwarf Japanese Maples are also actually a group in the Palmatum species but I'm giving it its own section here, due to its unique use in smaller areas and gardens.They have various leaf colors, forms and habits. All Dwarf Japanese Maple trees are under six feet at maturity, with some as small as twelve inches. Many have a compact bushy look.

These include Shirasawnum,. Japonicum, Griseum, Sieboldianum, Pseudosieboldianum . All are hardy to zone 5 and Psudosieboldianum and Griseum to zone 4. These are perfecct  cultivars for those at the edge of JM growing areas. If you live in those not too Jm friendly areas these are the cultivars you should be looking at. They will give you the best chance for success in your dicey area.  But these cultivars should not be ignored by my southern friends either.

This is the national tree of Chile and is native to the lower ski areas of Chile and Argentina . Grown in Europe for many years it has become increasing popular in the US. It is a very slow grower for the first 4-5 years and than medium growth ensues . It is not a hardy cultivar but no one seems to know where the cut off point is .. I would say winter teens  is probably ok... warmer areas of zone 6 and 7. It does do fine in containers and has been know to be used as a house plant lasting many years with proper light and good cultural techniques and limited watering
The proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, and one made the remark "It would puzzle a monkey to climb that"; as the species had no existing popular name, first 'monkey-puzzler', then 'monkey-puzzle' stuck.

Many call them just "evergreens' but they encompass a humongous amout of specific culitvars.... literally thousands and thoudands. There are actually  hundreds of new cultivars that are introduced each year each year . I specialize in dwarf cultivars which like JM's can be super small or just smaller than "large" . Most of my cultivars are not commercially available for most folks . I have hand picked a small assortment of very cool conifers that will do well in Midwestern weather and soil conditions ... as well as many other more forgiving  areras of the country. All my cultivars are in one gal containers and sell in the 20-30$ plus shipping  range . and can be shipped inexpensively USPS or added to any JM order with little or no extra shipping cost.
. Conifers are probably the best all around companion plant/tree for Japanese maples .. they compliment each other in a way few other trees or plants do .If you are buying Japanese maples you should take a close look at including a few of these cultivars in your order as well.
