Acer palmatum 'Clarabell'

Ok, I have not found any info on the tree but I can say I like it. This is year second year with it, it is similar to Katsura but it seem to have smaller leaves with more of a yellow color. The growth of it is nice, it grows upright, i did have a little leaf burn at the top but very minor.

 

here is a photo of the whole tree

Resurrecting this thread almost ten years later...!

 

I'm on the hunt now for this orange.

 

Another Stephen Rolph find Xi. He does come up with some rare maples. Always worth a look on his site.

 

Could you forward that site to me D?

I don't know how he does it -- he always has things I haven't seen anywhere else, and for the cost they're always worth a punt!

 

Agreed Xi, they are small, but always healthy.

 

Here's Clarabell. It worried me for a few weeks: dropped all of its leaves all of a sudden and then did nothing. Fortunately it's put out a whole new flush, so whatever upset it seems to have passed and it's doing well again, fingers crossed!

 

The shape of this cultivar lends itself to a special position near a Japanese lantern or stone temple perhaps !!? Watching this one closely Xi, very pretty.

 

Oooh I like that idea -- I have plenty of lanterns, so once it gets a little bigger and stronger (it really scared me with that leaf-drop!) I shall consider moving it out of the sheltered nursery and see what I can position it by for best effect!

 

Look forward to seeing what you decide Xi....
