‘Ukigumo’ is a variegated Japanese maple with a very poetic look: in spring, the leaves can emerge very pale—sometimes almost white—with pinkish tips. As the season progresses, the foliage becomes greener while keeping a speckled / marbled effect of creamy white and pink. Each leaf is different, which reinforces the “cloud” effect. Best planted in bright partial shade, sheltered from scorching sun.
‘Umegae’ is a Japanese maple with dark foliage, highly appreciated for its burgundy then chocolate tones through the season. In spring, it starts purple-red, often enhanced by lighter veins. In summer, the colour turns very dark brown / mahogany, then autumn shifts to a mix of orange and crimson. Its upright habit makes it an excellent accent subject, just as beautiful in a container as in the garden.
‘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’ 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’ 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.
‘Villa Taranto’ is a Japanese maple with fine foliage and narrow lobes (Linearilobum type), forming a naturally elegant dome-shaped habit. In spring, the young leaves emerge red-orange, then turn green through the season, before a beautiful golden-yellow autumn colour. An ideal variety for small gardens and for growing in a large container.
‘Vitifolium’ is a remarkable Acer japonicum, noted for its very large, rounded leaves with shallow lobes, often compared to a grape leaf. Light green in spring (sometimes lightly bronzed), it becomes a richer green in summer, then delivers a very intense autumn display mixing purple, crimson and orange. Vigorous and well structured, it forms a superb accent small tree, just as decorative up close as it is from a distance.
‘Waveleaf’ is a recent selection with reticulated purple foliage: at budbreak, the leaf blade shows pink-violet to lavender tones, highlighted by a network of very dark veins. The lobes are slightly wavy/curved—hence the name. As the season progresses, colours deepen toward richer purples, then finish in autumn with orange-red to purplish red depending on conditions.
A highly graphic reticulated Japanese maple: a light leaf blade (mint/cream to lavender depending on the year) crossed by purple to deep purple veins. Spring is the cultivar’s standout season, then the plant shifts toward softer tones in summer. Autumn colours turn golden yellow to bright orange.
‘Wilson’s Pink Dwarf’ is a compact, very finely branched Japanese maple, sought after for its spectacular pink spring flush. In spring, the foliage opens in vivid pink to salmon tones, then turns bright green in summer (sometimes with a slight pink return on the young shoots). Autumn finishes in red, orange and yellow shades. An excellent choice for containers and small gardens.
‘Wou nishiki’ is a Japanese maple with very finely cut, delicately toothed foliage, elegant from spring to autumn. At budbreak, the leaves are soft green, often highlighted with a reddish-brown edge, then turn dark green in summer before a bright red autumn colour. A great cultivar if you are looking for a distinctive, textured “green” maple with a spectacular finish to the season.
‘Yama kage’ is an Acer japonicum (full moon maple) remarkable for the exceptional size of its leaves, very large and generously cut. The foliage stays green from spring through summer, then the tree transforms late in the season with a flamboyant autumn display, often bright red with orange nuances. A strong-character cultivar for a garden focal point, and an excellent option in a large container if watering is kept up.
