Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Asian, evergreen maple, handsome and graceful, quickly growing to a rounded, 30' tree with leaves that are, in this form, very blue on the top side and strikingly silver underneath, creating a lovely shimmering quality. Best in north light or dappled shade -- out of western sun -- in rich, fertile soil with plentiful moisture. Tolerates temperatures to 10 °F or so, the bottom of USDA zone 8, but best in a protected spot out of wind to avoid leaf damage in the low teens °F.
