Pépinières GAURRAT This is a French nursery located in the Southwest near Pau, with probably the best climate and soil for growing Japanese Maples in Europe (not like mine :o( ). They grow a variety of plants mostly for professionals but do also serve the retail market. Their maple list contains about 70 taxons, with the most popular palmatum cultivars (see the list in their website). Their strong point are the medium to large sized specimens grown in the field in full sun: excellent health and good vigor. Plants are shipped during the dormant season. Strongly recommended for European buyers. Site is in French, with a button to view it in English.
