Acer palmatum 'Tsukasa Silhouette' (Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple)
A more recent introduction from Japan, it should become popular for it's narrow upright form. Green foliage is smaller as compared to seedlings, on twiggy stems.
Aptly named, its fragrant pink flowers are a delight to the senses. This plant delivers exceptional value in performance for price paid. It is a clean, easily grown plant worthy of a prominent spot where you can appreciate it. Extremely hardy.
Smaller in stature than other selections this has orange fruit. From the European breeding program of Peter Kolster, brought to the USA by Plants Nouveau.
Cameo is a sister seedling to Cleopatra and is the latest release from the New Zealand Magnolia Grove breeding program of Vance Hooper. A stunning bloom with a sculpted form like a cameo broach. Reddish purple exterior with clean white flushed red-purple interior. Cameo has exceptional flower power, second only to Genie for freeness of flowering. The high rate of flower production both in spring and summer keeps the plant as a small tree with a compact habit.
Upright evergreen shrub with spiny leaves. Native in the Northwest, it benefits from occasional pruning to keep foliage clean and diminish its tendency to become overgrown. Native Americans used the stems and roots to make a yellow dye.
