NEW PLANTS AND PLANT LIST
Acer palmatum ‘Marlo’ is a superb new Japanese maple with deeply lobed leaves, dark green in the centre conspicuously edged with pink. The colour becomes more intense during spring and autumn.
One of the most vibrant new maples available, this new cultivar, although similar to Acer palmatum ‘Taylor’, has more strongly variegated foliage and is more reliable in the garden.
H4 (hardy throughout the British Isles).
Height and spread after 10 years: 1.5m x 1.5m.
Available exclusively through Hillier Garden Centres and online at www.hillieronline.co.uk in 2011.
A beautiful small tree of columnar habit, Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a sport of the ever popular Acer ‘Bloodgood’. The deeply lobed palmate leaves are ruby-red, turning rich crimson in autumn. Conspicuous winged red fruits appear in late summer.

Height x spread in 10 years: 4m x 2m.
