Nursery contributed plant descriptions

With its uncommon glossy-green evergreen leaves this fine maple makes a handsome shrubby specimen! Native to the Himalayas where it can grow to an impressive 80'; away from home, however, it is more temperamental and much smaller to 20-30'. It has been used non-commercially for its timber. S-PSh/M
