As you can probably guess I'm forever trying to find good sources for Acers. No problem - the reason I didn't type it in before is that I was upstairs and the piece of paper was downstairs! I have found the following: THE BODWEN NURSERY Pothole St Austell Cornwall PL26 7DW E-mail: Tel: 01726 883855 Fax: 0870 130 6028 and the Duchy gave us: Mallet Court Nursery, Taunton, Somerset 01823 481493 and PMA Plant Specialities, Taunton, Somerset. 01823 480774 I haven't tried any of them except Mallet Court who haven't replied. Thanks! I will explore these. I think I mentioned Mallet Court before. I've had very good quality from them in the past, and in fact I need to call. Hopefully I will get my A. morrinosense (rubescens) 'Millicent' this year. The owner is maple expert James G. S. Harris. He mentioned last year they were no longer doing their own grafting, and there were some delays in putting the "outsourced" system in place, I believe. -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |

Or I'll ring them tomorrow. The owner is maple expert James G. S. Harris.

I've just read about it on the PMA site (which is Junkers Nursery and is reconstructing its web site which might be why it didn't load properly) and it says it was derived from those at The Garden House, Buckland Monachorum. The description of its autumn coloration is absolutely mouth watering! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

I can give you (off-group) an email for Mr. Harris, but I can't guarantee you'll get a very quick response!  Best to call.[] Have you got an Acer called 'Autumn Glory'?

The description of its autumn coloration is absolutely mouth watering! I don't. What species is it? I find two 'Autumn Glory' in the literature, but one (palmatum) is from the Kalmthout Arboretum in Belgium (and sounds less than spectacular), and the other (rubrum) was selected from a tree in Ohio. The Junkers site is not working for me at the mo. -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |

"ACER palmatum 'Autumn Glory'* Derived from the handsome specimens at The Garden House, Buckland Monochorum. Broad headed. Bronze tinted young growth becomes green in the summer. The name gives away their raison d'être though - all manner of colours can be seen, although my favourite stage has the leaves yellow with a bright red edge. 3m From £19.60" -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

The name gives away their raison d'être though - all manner of colours can be seen, although my favourite stage has the leaves yellow with a bright red edge. 3m It just came up for me, too. Very interesting! But a bit cavalier with names sometimes. I see that they will have my 'Millicent' this fall,which is amazing -- I have yet to get one from Mallet Court, where Harris selected and named it! So, I will certainly order one from them if he can't come up with one for me this spring. There are some other interesting cultivars that are still rare, like Autumn Showers. Not sure what to think about the naming of 'Autumn Glory', it doesn't seem to correspond to the description in either de Jong or Vertrees. The latter says: "This cultivar name was applied to a few selected seedlings which were notable for their beautiful fall coloration patterns -- mostly crimson. These maples were selected and introduced by R. de Belder of the Arboretum Kalmthout, Belgium, about 1958 and commercially distributed out of the Netherlands. The fall coloring has proven inconsistent in different places, raising the question whether this form deserves cultivar status. The leaves are broad with 5 or 7 lobes divided up to halfway to the leaf base. These upright small trees of 4 - 6 m for a broad canopy." Perhaps they took grafting material from a mature grafted specimen. All very confusing, as usual. Anyway thanks for the great source. -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies |

I'm quite tempted to get one of the Acer 'Autumn Glory' and see how it does turn out. I'll let you know if I succumb. ;-) In the meantime, Ray has planted the Acer Glade, as he calls it, placing several around the ex-duck pond and putting some ferns we bought at Abbotsbury, in the front. I think and hope it's going to be very pretty and a real asset to the garden. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |
