    Musashino

    ‘Musashino’ is a purple Japanese maple with a very upright habit, appreciated for its deep purple-red colour that holds well through the season. In spring it starts bright red, then turns deep purple/dark violet in summer, before shifting in autumn to crimson red (sometimes red-orange depending on conditions). A reliable choice to bring contrast, in a container as well as in the garden.

    Naniwa beni

    ‘Naniwa beni’ is a Japanese maple appreciated for its raspberry-red to bright red spring flush, very decorative, then for its green foliage highlighted by red new growth in summer.

    Nathan

    ‘Nathan’ is a Japanese maple highly valued for its spring foliage with a reticulated pattern: the young leaves emerge peach to pink, crossed by dark green veins that create a striking, graphic design. In summer it becomes greener, often retaining this “veined” character. In autumn it readily turns orange and then crimson red. An ideal variety for a container or the garden, best placed in gentle light to preserve the delicacy of the foliage.

    Nicholsonii

    ‘Nicholsonii’ is an elegant, fairly broad Japanese maple, appreciated for its large dark green leaves—long and pointed—and especially for its cherry-red samaras that stand out in late summer. In autumn, the foliage turns crimson (often preceded by more golden tones). An old cultivar, rare in cultivation, very interesting both in a container and in the garden.

    O izu

    ‘O izu’ is an elegant Japanese maple, recognisable by its soft green foliage whose lobe margins are very finely cut (a highly decorative “serrated / tight-toothed” effect).

    O taki

    ‘O taki’ is an Acer japonicum (full moon maple) prized for its large leaves and, above all, for its very intense autumn colour, often bright red to red-orange. In spring, the foliage opens green (sometimes with a reddish tint on young shoots depending on conditions), then stays green in summer before the flamboyant finale. An excellent choice as a focal point in the garden, and a superb variety for a large container.

    ‘Okushimo’ is a very graphic Japanese maple: its green leaves, often 5-lobed, have margins that curl upward, giving them an almost sculpted look and a unique texture.

An original cultivar, ideal in a pot as well as in the garden.

    Olsen’s frosted strawberry

    ‘Olsen’s Frosted Strawberry’ is a rare, highly decorative Japanese maple, known for its reticulated foliage: in spring, the young leaves emerge pink to red with very contrasting deep red veins, then often shift to a cream/ivory blade with visible veining (a “frosted strawberry” effect). In summer, the plant takes on strawberry-red tones, or more nuanced shades depending on sunlight, before a coppery-orange to orange/red autumn display. Compact habit, ideal in a container.
