    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

    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

    ‘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.

  • Hooftman A

    Hooftman A

    A Japanese maple with a very bright spring flush: silvery to creamy foliage, sometimes tinged with pink, with a sharp contrast of dark green veins. As the season progresses the foliage greens up, then autumn can shift toward orange to clearly red tones depending on conditions.

    Hoshi kuzu

    ‘Hoshi kuzu’ is a compact Japanese maple with very small, often star-shaped leaves, delicately variegated (cream on green) in spring. Young shoots may show a pinkish tint on the tips, then summer becomes greener while keeping a fine, luminous look. In autumn, it generally colours red (sometimes red-orange depending on conditions). A refined cultivar, ideal for containers and small gardens.

    Hot blonde

    ‘Hot Blonde’ is a characterful Japanese maple, valued for its very bright golden-yellow foliage, enhanced in spring by an orange margin. The tone often becomes even more yellow as the season progresses, then the tree finishes with a remarkable, sometimes long-lasting fiery red autumn color. Its big strength: excellent tolerance to heat and sun, making it a very interesting option for more challenging exposures.

    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.

    Ide no sato

    ‘Ide no sato’ is a Japanese maple with olive-green foliage that is lightly bronzed in spring, becoming a darker green in summer. In autumn, it stands out for a warm, luminous orange colour. Its habit is rather rounded, with steady vigour, making it a good choice both in a container and in the garden.

    Indian summer

    ‘Indian Summer’ is a remarkable Acer japonicum with very large “full moon” leaves, deep green in summer. Its standout feature is the summer flush: new growth can emerge pink to reddish, creating a beautiful contrast with the mature foliage. In autumn, the display becomes very bright: vivid yellows mixed with orange and red. An excellent choice as a focal point in the garden.

    Itami nishiki

    ‘Itami nishiki’ is a Japanese maple with small, finely cut leaves that are often a little irregular, appreciated for its coloured margins at budbreak: the fresh green is outlined in pink to red. In summer, the foliage becomes green with a more discreet yellow variegation, then autumn brings a warm orange tone. An original cultivar, well suited to containers as well as small gardens.
