[EU/Germany] Acer palmatum Beni Chidori

[Rivian]

If you know where to buy this cultivar please post it in this thread. Doesnt matter if grafted. Not interested in trained trees that cost hundreds of euros.

@clem has a source in France I believe

@jeremy_norbury in the Netherlands might have a source for you

@ConorDash has one in the UK, not sure of it's origin, and Peter Chan (also in the UK) has some at Heron's Bonsai

Thank you both, I had tried herons bonsai half a year ago (email) and was told they dont have time to go look at the stock, and the only listed one was 700 british pounds, as it is now. I will try maillot

That's not very good customer service... as true as it may well be, I'm sure there was a better way of handling it, rather than completely driving away a potential sale.

I got mine from Bobby on this forum, he got it from Ken, WindyBank in UK, he gets trees from Japan, Id say my maple probably came from Japan, but unsure.

Depending on where you are in Germany... When I was living in Trier, I've seen the cultivar in multiple garden centers and even in Aldi or Lidl (they do carry non-grafted cultivars twice a year, usually). Otherwise, I can really recommend Maillot.

That was fast! Shane they only have the smaller size available but at least you got one!

Maillot usually ships same day, I've yet to be disappointed by his service.

Yes it arrived at about the same time today when you wrote this message. Looks healthy enough, though Ive only given it a few glances so far

You wont get them to ship to US of A, not sure if their even shipping to UK due to brexit

 

[Oerc201]

I got it things from them but yeah they won’t ship trees ugh i wish they did

 

[Rivian]

Unfortunately they dont like full sun, and the leaves were bleached.
Ive defoliated it and placed it in morning sun. Hopefully will get healthy growth now. I cant say its vigorous.
