These trees are an unnamed dwarf cultivar of standard green mountain maple grown from seed -- so no graft union! Characterized by very small leaves and remarkably short internodes, this species offers the perfect blend of responsive growth and several seasonal flushes. With its compact habit and refined natural proportions, it makes a fantastic option for beginners and experts alike.
Note that this species is deciduous and will not have leaves if shipped during the winter. The trees pictured are representative examples and will not be the exact trees you receive. Some may have wire for movement or branch placement.

Regular Starts are our newest crop of these and are usually 2 years old or last year's cuttings.
