    Utsu semi

    ‘Utsu semi’ is an amoenum-type Japanese maple, appreciated for its large, thick leaves and its very distinctive texture (broad lobes, an almost “leathery” look). In spring, the foliage opens yellow-green (often with slightly reddish tips), turns green in summer, then delivers a highly decorative autumn display, ranging from orange to purple/scarlet depending on conditions. An excellent choice to add structure and a “different” green foliage, with strong late-season presence.

    Verkade’s jacus potus

    ‘Verkade’s Jacus Potus’ is a very original Japanese maple, easily recognised by its fine, feathery foliage (sessilifolium type). In spring it emerges deep burgundy, then lightens towards a green with peach/apricot undertones. During the season, new growth can take on salmon to pink-red shades again, creating a highly decorative contrast. In autumn, it finishes in a bright crimson.

    Verkade’s winter gold

    ‘Verkade’s Winter Gold’ is a highly sought-after Japanese maple for its multi-season interest. In spring, it produces large, deeply cut bright green leaves (Matsumurae type). In summer, red-orange new growth may appear, contrasting against the green foliage. Autumn finishes the display in golden yellow to orange. A much-appreciated feature: the young twigs can take on a chartreuse colour in winter, remaining decorative even without leaves.
