There are several beautiful Japanese Maples that I'd like to buy for my home landscape (hardiness zone 5 - southeast of Lake Ontario) here northeast of N.Y. State's beautiful Finger Lakes region. Does anyone know of retail mail order sources in the U.S. where I can buy Acer SUMMER GOLD (who actually have these cultivars available) and have it shipped to me? I'd really like a tree that is larger than a starter plant if possible; questionable I think. I'm also looking for a good U.S. mail order source for Acer TEQUILA SUNSET. I think I've found nurseries where I can buy Acers OREGON SUNSET & RED DRAGON; two other maples that I want. Several well known nurseries that I've contacted do not have SUMMER GOLD & TEQUILA SUNSET available. Thanks for your help.
I don't know if you are still looking for a Summer Gold but I just bought one from Maples for all Seasons. Mine is about 4' tall, 1" caliper and looks very healthy. You can contact the grower via e-mail at maplesforallseasons@yahoo.com Good luck.
Topiary Gardens is right there in upstate New York. Diana has hundreds of JM cultivars, and can probably find you anything she does not have in stock: http://www.topiary-gardens.com/store-new/
