Due to extensive frost damage in April, no cultivars will be available this year. Three nights of -8deg.C, coupled with a late spring, meant the opening buds were caught at their most vulnerable time. Some cultivars were affected more than others, including twenty year old plants in the ground. Unfortunately, I failed to take my own advice as the irrigation system was out of action due to maintainence but they will all recover eventually.

My apologies to all potential customers for the lateness of this announcement; other obligations have taken up most of my time. I will be putting up a resource page shortly, listing alternative sources of supply as well as some articles, including how to protect your Japanese maples from frost!
