Anyone have any insight into this one? I am about to place an order and can add this one for pretty cheap. Sound interesting and I've never heard of the species.
No particular insight other than a good respectable reference, to wit...
Maples of the World by van Gelderen, de Jong, and Oterdoom (1994, Timber Press) has this good description and one photograph. It is a selection from Firma Esveld, which you may have heard of.
Probably no reason not to root them, if they are easy enough to do that way and produce a decent root system. Eliminates future potential suckering issues.
Remember that the authors of the text are all European and have different traditions - and that the book is now 20 years young. Advances in propagation techniques have wrought different products today.
Broken Arrow is not a shabby place - I'd say that they'd be reliable.
Make sure you share pics of the crappy fall color...
Even trees with a reputation for excellent fall color can be duds some years down here. So having a tree/shrub with poor fall color doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like it might up north. I am becoming more of a growing season foliage kinda person anyway since that is how the tree looks the majority of the growing season.
Now that is one handsome fella, VV (the tree of course. I'm not qualified to judge the other :-P)
Basic, I'm not at all bothered by discussing lack of fall color in trees in this topic. After all, it squeezed that killer pic out of VV and any pic posted in the off season is a gift haha
