This small leafed dwarf is one of the more rare forms of Japanese maple. The yellow-green spring leaves may be edged with bronze, turning to green in the summer. It is a very slow grower, only a few centimeters a year, makig it an ideal container plant. After many years, the tree can reach a height of six feet with a spread as wide. Come see our 14 year-old specimen!
This tree has one of the smallest leaves of the Japanese maples, which grow dense and close together. Leafing-out red, the foliage evoles into greens and then yellow blended with orange in the fall. This plants is very popular with bonsai specialists.
This unusual dwarf has light green leaves which overlay one another. A slow grower, its mature height is approximately six feet. Wonderful yellow and red fall colors. Great for a patio and will live in full sun.
This is a MUST have for anyone desiring a Japanese maple. From its light green leaves in the Spring, to the golden foliage in Fall, it's most spectacular attribute is the red bark which appears in the Winter. Commonly call the Coral Bark Maple, it grows wonderfully in full sun, will handle afternoon shade, and is easily limbed-up to show the beautiful and graceful structure this tree holds.
Probably Kimberly's favorite variegated plant, it has soft yellow and green foliage with no two exactly the same. It is a slow growing plant, needing part shade to balance the sun needed to maintain the yellow, while enough shade to prevent sun-scorch.
As collectors, we enjoy trying mugos, but the caveat emptor being that they are very difficult to keep alive for extended periods. They need good drainage, lots of water, but are on the edge of their heat tolerance here in Georgia.
A bushy cousin to 'Zebrina', this wonderfully variegated pine has gracefully weeping long needles. A slow to medium grower, this semi-dwarf Himalayan pine grows about 6-8 inches a year, to a top height of about 12 feet. It handles full sun and does well in part shade, too. Some needles are white and green, others are yellow and green.
This upright arborvitae maintains its dense foliage inn our hot Georgia summers. Once established is reasonably drought tolerant. This cultivar is so soft you could hug it!
The plants listed on our website represent only some of the varieties available at our nursery. As we carry hundreds of cultivars, sometimes only with two to five of a type, we found our lists too long for clients to read through. We will be adding more of what we have to offer on the site as I am able to take pictures of them all. For availability information on a particular variety, please contact us via e-mail or call us at 770-761-8882.
The growth rates and information about plant needs are what we have found to be true with the plants here in Georgia. Many of these trees are reasonably new to the East coast, especially the Southeast; the longer days and warmer seasons have shown us increased plant growth compared to the West Coast. Georgia has more hours of daylight and a warmer Spring and Summer compared to the Northwest, which we believe cause these differences.
