Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lobed leaves heavily speckled with white and a dense rounded habit to 12' tall by slightly wider, make this a very special tree for a small garden or intimate spot. S/M
A choice selection of Hedge maple with splashes of white and cream on green leaves. Sometimes, half the blade will be green.
The marbled leaves of this cultivar make it an interesting addition to a small garden. Usually a compact shrub to 8', we usually grow it as a standard. It would prefer some afternoon shade to avoid burning the white variegation; but it will lighten up a shady area. Zone 5
