“Here you will find the Japanese Maples and others that probably won’t get over 25′ tall but are of tree form. Again, my interest is in the unusual and hard to find. Some of the Maples are over ten years old. Wicked good prices on the larger on“`es. Most shrubby trees 8’ and under are in the Woody Ornamentals section.”
