One of our most treasured maples is Acer palmatum 'Sir Happy.'
This uncommon dwarf cultivar grows about 1/8 inch each year.
We estimate our tree to be about 40 years old, and yet, it stands at under 6 inches tall.
Maples
Acer sp.
Maple trees have long been a staple in human culture as food, medicine, furniture, instruments, paper, construction, and ornamental additions to our landscapes.
​
Maple trees consist of about 130 unique species around the world with about 13 of those being native to North America, and at Arborcrest, we've planted and evaluated approximately 300 variations of maple species. Their time to shine is fall (October-November) when the color variations in their leaves stun with their vibrancy.
