    Goshiki shidare

    ‘Goshiki shidare’ is a weeping, laceleaf Japanese maple (Dissectum group) with highly sought-after variegated foliage, mixing spring tones of pink, white/cream and purplish-brown over a greener base. In summer, it settles into a bronze-green, with variegation often more discreet, then autumn shifts to pinkish-yellow through orange. A rare and delicate cultivar, superb in a container—provided you prune out any branches that revert to green in order to maintain the variegation.

    Green lace

    ‘Green Lace’ is a green dissectum-type Japanese maple, valued for its very finely cut foliage and its naturally cascading, dome-shaped habit. From spring to late summer, it stays a fresh green to emerald green, then in autumn it turns a luminous golden yellow (rarer among dissectums, which are more often red/orange). Ideal in a pot or in a small garden, to bring lightness and movement.

    Hanami nishiki

    ‘Hanami nishiki’ is a dwarf Japanese maple with a very compact, bushy habit, appreciated for its tiny leaves (sometimes only a few centimetres long) and its naturally dense silhouette.

An ideal cultivar for containers on a terrace, and highly sought after for bonsai.

    Hanezu hagoromo

    ‘Hanezu hagoromo’ is a rare Japanese maple, sought after for its very distinctive foliage made of fine, narrow straps, creating a feather-like look (sessilifolium type). It starts in spring with vivid orange tones, shifts to a bright yellow, then turns chartreuse green in summer, before a highly decorative orange-to-red autumn display. An ideal cultivar to bring a different texture to a collection, as a specimen or in a large container.

    Higasa yama

    A variegated Japanese maple with a very distinctive spring flush, often described as a “popcorn” effect: young leaves are tight and crinkled, with green veins and creamy variegation, sometimes edged with pink. In summer it partially greens up, then autumn colours range from yellow and orange to red depending on exposure and the season.

    Hino tsukasa

    ‘Hino tsukasa’ is a red Japanese maple with an upright habit, appreciated for its clear, luminous red tone that can remain strongly coloured in a well-lit position. In spring, it starts a vivid red, shifts to a bronze-red in summer, then blazes into a very bright scarlet red in autumn. An excellent choice if you’re looking for a red cultivar that doesn’t “fade out” easily—both in a container and in the garden.

    ‘Hogyoku’ is a vigorous Japanese maple with an upright habit (often vase-shaped), appreciated for its rich green foliage with large 7-lobed leaves that are a little thicker and more substantial than average. In autumn, it offers a highly sought-after display: golden yellow turning to an intense pumpkin-orange, sometimes nuanced with orange-red. An excellent choice when the main goal is a bright, luminous orange autumn.

A refined cultivar, ideal for containers and small gardens.

    Hubble’s super cork

    ‘Hubble’s Super Cork’ is a Japanese maple sought after for its very corky bark (pinebark-type) that appears very early, quickly giving the tree an “old specimen” look. The foliage emerges green in spring (often with a fine reddish margin), stays green in summer, then colours orange to red in autumn. An ideal cultivar for bark enthusiasts and for bonsai.

    Ibo nishiki

    ‘Ibo nishiki’ is a Japanese maple appreciated for its rough bark that, over time, develops small corky warts (a “warty / cork bark” effect). The foliage is green through the season, then the tree colours in autumn in shades ranging from yellow-orange to red, often a strong red. A characterful cultivar, very interesting in a container and for bonsai thanks to the trunk’s true four-season interest.
