    9001

    ‘9001’ is a Japanese maple appreciated for its subtle spring colours (pink-red with green veining), its green summer foliage, then its spectacular autumn transformation into fiery red. A very notable feature: its fruiting (samaras), often red and particularly decorative from mid-summer onwards. A great cultivar for the garden as well as for a large pot, in gentle sun or bright partial shade.

    Aconitifolium

    ‘Aconitifolium’ is an Acer japonicum with deeply cut foliage, almost fern-like (very fine and highly graphic). It starts light green in spring, turns dark green in summer, then delivers one of the most intense autumn displays: crimson, vermilion and fiery orange depending on conditions. A small tree with a rounded habit, superb as a specimen and also very interesting in a large container.

    Aka kawa hime

    ‘Aka kawa hime’ is a compact “coral bark” form: young shoots are coral red, with color that intensifies noticeably in the cold season. The foliage starts fresh green, matures to mid green in summer, then turns yellow to golden (sometimes with orange tones) in autumn. A reliable choice for a small garden or container growing, with real winter interest.

    Alan’s gold

    ‘Alan’s Gold’ is a Japanese maple with corky, pinebark-type bark and a very luminous spring flush: the new leaves emerge orange, then turn gold/chartreuse. Summer settles into a calmer chartreuse green, and autumn returns with warm yellows, shifting to orange and red. Upright habit, with steady, regular growth.

    Anne Irene

    ‘Anne Irene’ is a very bright Japanese maple, valued for its golden-yellow spring foliage, often highlighted by a fine red edging on the young leaves.

    Aoba jo

    ‘Aoba jo’ is a dwarf, very compact Japanese maple with a rounded/bushy habit and very short internodes (a “yatsubusa” look, close in spirit to ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’). The foliage often starts out bronze in spring, matures to green in summer, then turns beautiful golden-yellow to orange/red tones in autumn. An excellent choice for containers and very well suited to bonsai.

    Aoyagi

    ‘Aoyagi’ is a Japanese maple appreciated for its light green shoots (a more marked tone in the cold season) and its chartreuse spring foliage, becoming greener in summer. Autumn usually finishes as a very bright golden yellow. Upright habit, then broader with age: an elegant cultivar, also interesting in winter.

    Arakawa

    ‘Arakawa’ is a green Japanese maple known for its very rough, fissured, corky bark, decorative all year round. The foliage is green through the season, then turns golden yellow to orange-red in autumn. This cultivar is widely used for bonsai, precisely because of the character of its trunk and bark.

    Ariadne

    ‘Ariadne’ is a reticulated Japanese maple: in spring, the foliage emerges coppery orange to pink with a very pronounced network of green veins. Summer shifts to more purple/red tones, and autumn returns to orange through rosy reds, often still showing visible veining. A supple, slightly spreading habit, elegant in containers as well as in the ground.

    ‘Asahi zuru’ is a variegated Japanese maple: green foliage broadly marbled with cream, with lovely pink nuances at budbreak (and sometimes during the season). Autumn shifts to orange to red tones, while the variegated areas can remain lighter. Upright, elegant habit.
