Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This stunning big leaf maple has the most remarkable variegation; its foliage is randomly splashed and sprayed with snow-white patches and speckles An upright and spreading tree that should eventually reach 30-60' and will surely be the focal point of any landscape it is used in! Autumn finds this eye-catcher clothed in orange and russet. 'Santiam Snows' was discovered near the Santiam River in Oregon. A delightful tree that should be stable in its variegation; young trees could benefit from partial shade. S-PSh/M
A new introduction from Heritage Seedlings that presumably has white variegation. Brand new and very unique-sounding!
