Hi, Kate:
These are hardy Japanese maples in zone 5:
Acer palmatum 'Tsuma Beni', it means "Red Nail"...I early spring the leaf
tips are red looking like the tips have a red nail polish on them;
Acer dissectum 'Waterfall', I have mine for 5 years & it is 3.5' high and
4.5'wide;
Acer dissectum'Viridis';
Acer palmatum 'Peaches and Cream';
Acer palmatum 'Caperci Dwarf', a real gem at 1.5' high x 3.5' wide & the
leaves are about 0.75" , I have this beauty for 6 years, I grow dwarf & mini
hosta under this umbrella canopy
Acer palmatum 'Sango kaku', better known as 'Coral Bark Maple'...this one
have for 8 years, and it's 5' high with a multistem...imagine bright coral
red against the white snow, small apple green leaves turning to a brilliant
yellow-orange in the fall.
I also have three dissectum red weeping Japanese maples...the oldest is 11
years old 4' high x 6' wide.
Hope this helps you...have a great weekend
Hostally,
