Or as this plant is now officially called, Acer saccharinum ssp nigrum.


Very sorry! Meant to say saccharum, not saccharinum, which is an entirely
different maple (Silver Maple). Funny I just saw this mistake at a
nursery while searching, I must have subconsciously picked it up.

My 10 yr old RHS Plantfinder has under nirum :-

Mallet Court Nursery, Taunton. TA3 6SY

I know them well, they don't have it.

Nettletons Nursery, Godstone. RH9 8NF

Chris Pattison Nursery, Pendock. GL19 3PL


Pattison lists palmatum 'nigrum', lots have this one. I didn't find a
stock list for Nettletons. When I google I get lots of hits for the
Japanese maple.

under Acer saccharinum :-

Burncoose Nursery, Redruth. TR16 6B1

As I said above, I meant saccharum ssp nigrum (Black maple is a
subspecies of sugar maple) not saccharinum (Silver maple). My apologies
for the typo.

Shout if you need any more.

OK, I'm shouting!
