‘Akikaze nishiki’ is a rare Asian maple appreciated for its very finely cut foliage and its extremely variable cream variegation. In spring, the young leaves can show very decorative pink tones, then the tree develops a dark green, variegated canopy as the season progresses. In autumn, it offers warm shades (orange to red, sometimes with more purplish nuances depending on conditions). It is also a cultivar known for being heat-tolerant for a variegated maple.
‘Albovariegata’ is a variegated beech prized for its bright green leaves edged with cream to white, especially decorative in spring. The variegation can shift toward a pale yellow later in the season. This is a large-growing tree in the long term—ideal for a park or a large garden—with useful vigilance against reversion (fully green shoots) to maintain strong variegation.
‘Ansorgei’ is a rare European beech, remarkable for its long, fine, narrow leaves, often described as “willow-leaved”. Its foliage starts a brownish red-purple and stays dark for much of the season. Very slow-growing, it gradually forms a small, extremely elegant specimen—perfect as a feature plant or near a walkway so you can enjoy its texture up close.
The Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Aureovariegatum’ is sought after for its yellow-variegated foliage, which brings immediate light to the garden. Larger and more robust than a Japanese maple, it grows as a structural shade tree: a broad crown, strong presence, and decorative foliage throughout the growing season. Best planted where there is enough space, in a bright position, with soil that stays cool/moist in summer.
‘Bicolor Sartini’ is a rare variegated beech, valued for its medium-green leaves edged and marked with a strong, rich yellow, with variegation that is generally more regular and brighter than in other yellow-variegated beeches. With slow to moderate growth, it forms an elegant small garden tree, best planted in deep soil that stays cool and moist.
‘Brilliantissimum’ is a sycamore maple prized for its unique spring foliage, a very luminous salmon pink / shrimp pink. Over the following weeks, the color shifts to a soft yellow-green, then to light green in summer, before a generally golden yellow autumn finish. With its rather slow growth and compact crown, it’s an excellent small ornamental tree to bring light and a spectacular effect from the very start of the season.
‘Esk Sunset’ is a rare sycamore maple grown for its constantly shifting variegated foliage and its purple leaf undersides. At budbreak, the variegation can be quite subtle: new leaves often emerge orange-pink / bronze, then the cream (and pink) marbling becomes clearer and stronger as the leaves expand. As the season progresses, the foliage turns deeper green, splashed and marbled with cream (often with lingering pink/tan tones), while the undersides develop a rich purple to reddish-purple. With backlighting or when the wind flips the leaves, this contrast can create a spectacular rosy glow through translucency.
‘Hoshi yadori’ is a highly sought-after East Asian maple for its “starry” variegation: small yellow/cream marks appear like stars and dusting on large dark-green leaves, with especially strong contrast in mid-season. In spring, the foliage may open with a reddish tint, then the tree often finishes in a luminous yellow in autumn. A collector’s variety, superb in a large container or in the garden, best planted away from stress (drought / scorching sun) to preserve foliage quality.
‘Leopoldii’ is a particularly decorative sycamore maple thanks to its changing foliage: in spring, the young leaves open with a pink tone, then turn green with irregular yellow-to-cream blotches (sometimes paler in summer). It is a structural tree, much larger than a Japanese maple, ideal as a specimen in a spacious garden to fully enjoy the variegation, which is especially spectacular at budbreak.
‘Puget Pink’ is a rare sycamore maple, prized for its exceptionally bright pink spring flush (“salmon / shrimp” tones). The foliage then shifts toward a chartreuse green and settles into a greener tone in summer. In autumn, it generally turns a clean yellow, often enhanced with orange. Its naturally rounded, stocky habit makes it an excellent small ornamental tree for the garden, best placed in a bright situation but without excessive heat.
‘Simon-Louis Frères’ is a sycamore maple with particularly decorative foliage: in spring, the young leaves open with a very visible pink tint, then the variegation evolves into a green background heavily splashed with white/cream in summer. In autumn, the tree generally turns yellow. A beautiful ornamental subject to plant as a specimen in a sufficiently spacious garden, to fully enjoy the budbreak and the variegation.
‘Tortuosa’ (often called contorted beech or umbrella beech) is sought after for its twisted, contorted branches, decorative all year round and especially in winter. Its habit depends greatly on the graft height: it can form a wide, low, spreading bowl, or a small tree with a more defined dome. A classic collector’s plant to create a highly sculptural focal point.
