Acer palmatum 'Beni maiko' (Japanese Maple)
Aristolochia tomentosa (Dutchman's

The 'Red-haired Dancing Girl' maple is a
broadly spreading small shrub-like tree that
grows to about 6'. In spring palmate leaves
open brilliant scarlet. Gradually the leaves
darken, finally turning a bluish or reddish green
depending on conditions. New growth through
the season adds flashes of scarlet, turning red
in fall. Zones 6-8. H: 4-5 ft. W: 4-5 ft.

Pipe vine. This is the preferred food source
for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly. Makes

for support. This small downier version of A.
macrophylla occurs from North Carolina and
Missouri south to the Florida Panhandle and
Texas. Zones 5-9. H: 20-30 ft. W: 5-10 ft.

Acer palmatum 'Kotobuki' (Japanese
Maple)
Japanese for "long life", this recent introduction
has bright pink new foliage and variegated
stems. Holds up reasonably well in full sun.

Zones -. H: 6-8 ft. W: 3-4 ft.
Acer palmatum 'Omure yama'
A choice small tree: upright, but lent a
willow-like grace by its strongly drooping
branch tips. The deeply-cut palmate leaves
begin orange-bordered green, turn solid bright
summer green, and end spectacular crimsons
and golds. Good heat tolerance. At maturity,
this maple can reach 15' in height and more
across. Zones 6-8. H: 10-15 ft. W: 12-18 ft.
15-18", 3 gal. $45

norm, and is known for it's excellent red and
purple autumn foliage. In the spring it is covered in fragrant white flowers. The flowers are
followed by clusters of large, edible dark-blue

winter. Self pollinating, so you only need one
for fruit. Zones 4-8. H: 5-7 ft. W: 5-7 ft.

Buxus 'Gibraltar' (Boxwood)
From cuttings collected at the Gibraltar Estate
