Chanticleer Garden

20 years ago

Hello all,

I usually hang out in the hosta forum, but I need help from Japanese Maple experts. While attending the Chanticleer Garden in Wayne, PA I came across the most gorgeous tree. Cannot find it listed by description anywhere online, thought if I posted a pic someone might recognize it.

As I am on a mission to identify this tree I thank you for any help given.

That is an Acer palmatum 'Higasayama'. It is not always striped...the leaves fade to green later in the season. In the early spring, it also has some pink variegation. It is one of my favorite japanese maples.

Yep that is a H. Higasayama it is common enough to find. World Plants, Mountain Maples, an ebay seller has them, her ID is: Acer1987. Personally I would not buy such a small tree, but if you want to baby sit go for it. There are so many remarkable J. Maples, I would think twice before making a decision. How fast does the tree grow, how big, sun, location, looks can be deceiving. It may turn out to be a not so H.'Great Expectations' and we at the Hosta forum are a bit disappointed you have crossed over to this Maple forum. Yes I am a spy, and I am returning to my home forum ASAP before this Maple people catch me, snooping around.

Thanks for the ID, I kinda thought that is what it might be. But its so hard to tell from just looking at online pics.

The one that I saw was June 14th of this year and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I will definitely be getting one, so if anyone knows a good seller it would be greatly appreciated. I will be willing to pay for a good sized tree.

LOL deshima, recognize your name! Been mainly lurking over there these days too, not posting too much as I'm sure you have noticed. I won't tell anyone you had a momentary loss of thought that you could leave the hosta forum!
