Adrian's Compact Dwarf
This small upright dwarf Japanese maple has a slow-growing, compact form and lovely small burgundy leaves that are lighter red when budding. These leaves then turn a brilliant orange and scarlet in the fall. Preferring dappled sun and well-drained, clay-free soil, it could grow to 5 ft. tall x 3 ft. wide in 10 years.

Fireball Dwarf
Great Balls of Fire! This more cold-tolerant dwarf leafs out in cherry red foliage, before turning deep maroon by mid-spring.

Slow growing to 5 ft. tall and 4 ft. wide in 15 years.

Kumoi Nishiki
Also known as Variegated Full Moon Japanese Maple, this variety is prized for its stable, extraordinary white spring variegation.

Random pink-striped bark and pink spring twigs adds to its appeal. It grows 10 ft. tall in part sun conditions.

Gable Glory
Considered one of the most striking of the Japanese Maples, Gable Glory's spring colours range from pink-red to bright cherry red.

Best in dappled sun, it grows 10-12 ft. tall in 15 years.

Kihachijo
The extremely serrated, lacy green foliage on this upright variety gives it an unusually light, airy appearance. In the autumn, there is a stunning show of bright orange, yellow, gold and red leaves. Growing 12-14 ft. and 15 ft. wide in 20 years, it does best in dappled afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

Kiyohime Dwarf
This unusual, dwarf specimen produces tiny green leaves with a nice purple-red border in the early spring.

Mikazuki
This radiant variety has attractive narrow pink leaves with green veins and tinges of white which emerge dark red in spring. It is a dense tree growing to 15 ft. tall but only spreading 10 ft. wide.

Orion Dwarf

Bonfire
Greeting spring with a burst of brilliant crimson foliage, Bonfire holds its colour for about a month before turning bronze to green, then ending the year in an explosion of fiery orange-red! Growing slowly to 8-12 ft. tall and wide in part sun, it has a rounded form with upright twisted branching. 

 
Peaches and Cream
An elegant, fine textured, variegated variety, this is one of the most stunning of the Japanese maples!

Phoenix
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, this stunning variety breaks spring dormancy with intense, bright red leaves with strong yellow-orange veining.

It grows 6-8 ft. tall and 4-6 ft. wide in a partially sunny condition. 

 
Summer Gold
Like its name, this variety leafs out with chartreuse to yellow green foliage with red borders.

Tobiosho

Mikawa Yatsuba Dwarf
This unique dwarf Japanese maple is best known for its use as bonsai. Very dwarf and slow growing, it has leaves that are spaced closely together on short shoots which helps define its structure, colour and density. The leaves on this little dwarf overlap one another to give it a unique appearance. When the leaves first unfold in the spring they are a light yellow-green colour becoming more medium green as they mature. These in fall turn golden-orange in the fall with bright red tips. The leaves are slightly longer than those of other dwarf forms. The growth structure is multi-branched, forming a compact little plant. Could grow to 6 feet in 10 years, and is best sited in sun to partial shade.
