ACERS OTHER THAN ACER PALMATUM 2008 OUR POLICY: Due to the many problems that can affect maples which are beyond our control, we restrict replacement to a half-price basis during the first 60 days only. SHIPPING: We prefer to ship maples when they are in a dormant state. However, maples can be shipped any time of the year even in periods of soft growth, only if shipped by air. During the soft growth period, we reserve the right to delay shipment for a short period until the growth hardens. We do sometimes get late soft growth in the fall which can delay shipment. Most of our trees are container-grown; they can be shipped based on the aforementioned schedule. A few of our trees are field-grown, which means they are not available until they go dormant in the fall. We try to ship the maples when safe delivery is assured, taking into account that you would like to get the maples when you would like to plant them. To minimize shipping expenses, large sizes are best shipped fully dormant. Any maple measuring 5' or over may require shipment by a method other than FED EX, which can add to the cost of shipping (see index for general shipping information). If your maples arrive at a time that doesn’t permit immediate planting due to weather conditions, they can be safely held as long as dormant, in a cool greenhouse, basement or garage. ABOUT SIZES: Because of the way maples grow and the different heights at which they are grafted, listing sizes is difficult. For example, two plants of the same cultivar may grow only 6" or may shoot out to 18", but, after the next growth, both plants will be the same size. In order to simplify listing of sizes, Size 1 means 4" to 18", which is generally a one year graft; Size 2 means 18" to 30" etc. With dissectum types, the maple may be grafted at 3 ft., but if it is only 1 ft. wide, we list it as Size 1. Limited numbers of specimens and other larger sizes are sometimes available. Please feel free to inquire about availability. GROWTH SIZE: The number listed after the name is the height at ten years of age. of course, size will vary with planting location, fertilization and irrigation. Dissectum varieties can be staked up to the desired height and will generally cascade down and out from there. SPECIAL NOTE: If you have a special maple in mind and do not find it listed, please contact us. In some instances, we may have limited quantities. 50000 Acer buergerianum - Trident Maple — 30'.
