Separate names with a comma.
Hippopottering stopped selling it because they did not find it to be reliably hardy. Mine, which I bought from them has been fine and dandy, if a...
Could well be! We all know that nishiki refers to brocade or variegation and I believe "Hi no tori" is a transliteration of the Japanese word for...
I want to say that 'Hino tori nishiki' is not as upright growing as that - mine is not at least, lots of 45 degree branches. Also noticing that...
My 'Hino tori nishiki' came from Hippo also, some years ago now. I am under the impression they have (or had) a close trading/working relationship...
Interesting, do you have 'Hino tori nishiki' to compare? Looking at the pics above your 'Phoenix' cultivars do look quite similar to Hino. My...
I am in agreement with the hybrid theory of @LoverOfMaples. Left hand Korean maple seedling definitely looks like the mother was knocked up by...
I can confirm that Acer cultivars 'Hino tori nishiki' and 'Phoenix' are not the same by any measure. I have both and they do not look the same....
Indeed, not a night I will forget in a hurry. The actual rainstorm lasted less than an hour but the buildup with the lightning moving closer was...
I was out in the wilds of Cambridgeshire fishing on this night, true Fenland country so very flat topography, and we could see the storms and...
Ditto to regular 'Shigitatsu sawa'. Not Aka, which depending on who you ask is similar to, or the same as, 'Beni shigitatsu sawa'.
Wound wood can clearly be seen attempting to scab over the wounds in some of the photographs. This is a long process and very unlikely to have...
The larger leaves on the nursery tree might be due to over strong fertilizer induced growth.
I always like this seed grown one at this time of year. Photo does not do the colours justice, will try harder next time... [ATTACH] Eddisbury...
In the rain on Wednesday. Does have a certain charm in these conditions. And it was nice to get some rain. [ATTACH]
Good feedback above from @Acerholic, I just thought I would add a few points. Possibly unlucky, but most cultivars should produce at least a...
That is pretty much spot on, Filigree should grow well anywhere Shigitatsu sawa does. I found that Filigree grows best in very light dappled...
Has very similar reticulated variegation to Shigitatsu sawa, here are a couple of comparison leaf shots and one of the tree in situ [ATTACH]...
As Filigree has been mentioned recently here is a leaf comparison with Shigitatsu sawa, they are like sister and brother, one with dissected...
In full leaf now and looking pretty good this year. Due for repotting. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Fully leafed out now and looking pretty good [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have been slowly battling die back issues on this tree, not surprising for a...
