First of all, in general I'd always believe Vertrees over something I read on the internet, so I don't blame you for your skepticism.
Maybe Vertrees's warning is necessary in some places that get really hard sun, but I've not experienced this first-hand. I've had a number of maple experts tell me that Vertrees is just plain wrong on this one.
With respect to your other question, I've got the following cultivars in full sun, though note that full sun here in Seattle is not like full sun in Texas. Today's 96 degree is very rare.
A. p. `Sharp's pigmy'
A. p. `Villa taranto'
A. p. `Mikawa yatsuba'
A .p. `Kiyohime'
A. p. `Yurihime'
A. p. `Kamagata'
A. p. `Hogyoku'
A. p. `Sangu kaku'
A. p. `Crimson queen'
A. p. `Fireglow'
A. p. `Red Pigmy'
A. shirasawanum `Aureum'
A. shirasawanum `Autumn moon'
Various other cultivars are "hiding" in part sun under my grape arbor.
With my best regards,
Carl

Thanks. Im not in Texas, Im in South Carolina. Usually stays around high 80's, low 90's here. Sounds like your a maple lover as well. Do you get yours at nurseries or somehwere online? ive been trying to find a red pygmy, but have not had any success. |
