Acer p. 'Bloodgood' is probably the most reliable of the red leaf Japanese Maples. We have a new group of hand selected, multi-trunk specimens 10'-12' in height.

Transplanted Specimen Japanese Maples
Transplanted Specimen Japanese Maples are a specialty of Jaycee Newman's. Transplanted trees have already gone through the shock of the initial digging and the new roots are already developing. This also means we can dig year round. We stock some of the largest pieces available in some rare and sought after cultivars. Here a just a few examples.
Acer p. ‘Aka Shigitatsu sawa’
Reticulated leaf with evolving color through the seasons.
Acer p. ‘Beni Maiko’
Leaf color varies from branch to branch and leaf to leaf, producing a psychedelic tie-dye effect.
Acer p. ‘Katsura’
Golden spring leaves eventually develop to chartreuse with red/orange tinged edges. These leaves are unlike anything else in the world of Japanese Maples.
Leaf color varies from branch to branch and leaf to leaf, producing a psychedelic tie-dye effect.
Stewartia pseudocamellia - Specimens available
USDA Zone: 5 - 8 ( -15 °F to 15 °F) Partial/Full Sun Moist Soil
The Stewartia pseudocamellia is known in Japan as the summer camellia, natsu-tsubaki. This ornamental tree is an all-season performer, exhibiting a distinctive branching pattern in winter, camellia-like 2"-3" white flowers in summer and retain their ring of yellow stamen when they fall, making a lovely carpet beneath the branches, and bright yellow and red foliage in autumn. Once you have seen it, the fall color is unforgettable. The bark is spectacular, peeling off and exposing contrasting colors. It could be grown for this characteristic alone. We have a range of forms and sizes to choose from, all selected for excellent structure.
Hamamelis x ‘Diane’ (Red) and Hamamelis mollis (Yellow)
USDA Zone 5 Full Sun/Part Shade Flowers early February
The common name for this plant is Witch Hazel and this size, structure and age, aren’t available very often. These two specimens are 30+ years old. Bright flowers in early February literally glow in the winter landscape. These are the heaviest flowering Witch Hazel we've seen. We can also supply smaller options. Photo taken February 5, 2016.
Cedrus libani ‘Green Knight’ - Feb 1 2016
USDA Zone 6-9 Full sun Dwarf Conifer
This true dwarf conifer is a miniature Cedar of Lebanon and only grows 2" - 4" per year. This plant is aptly named and a naturally growing bonsai, with it's upright growth, horizontal branching and a trunk that grows like an ancient alpine conifer, it would make a noble addition to your patio or garden.
Hydrangea anomala s. petiolaris
USDA Zone 4-8 Water medium, will tolerate drought and full shade
Hydrangea anomala s. petiolaris, a climbing hydrangea is a versatile plant that can be used as far more than just a simple climber. We have a large selection of boxed specimens that have be sculpted into a variety of forms. They could be used as upright bonsai trees, cascading ground cover in a boulder garden or over a stone wall, artistic accents or screening- with some imagination, there are endless possibilities. These photos show the handsome winter structure and characteristic peeling bark. Lacy white flowers bloom for weeks in the late spring and early summer. Will grow in sun or shade in most climates.
Nyssa sylvatica ‘Autumn Cascade’
USDA Hardiness Zone 5-9 Requires even moisture, low pH
Nyssa sylvatica ‘Autumn Cascade’ This mature specimen is from the same display garden as the ‘Wildfire’. Again, this is largest example of the cultivar we’ve seen. Arching cascades of red/yellow/orange leave in the autumn are unlike anything else. The leaves tend to be slightly larger and more rounded than straight Nyssa sylvatica.
Nyssa sylvatica 'Wildfire'
USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9 wide soil tolerance from dry to wet
Nyssa sylvatica ‘Wildfire’ is a newer cultivar of Black Gum. The distinguishing feature of this cultivar is that the new growth emerges deep red before changing to dark green for the summer. Fall color can be a range of orange/yellow/purple/red. ‘Wildfire’ has also been observed holding its leaves longer in to the autumn than straight Nyssa sylvatica. We’ve just acquired the two largest specimens we’ve seen from a local display garden. Planted individually or as a pair, these will make a bold statement.
Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii'
USDA Zone: 4-7 (-25 °F to 5 °F) Full Sun Regular watering
This pendulous form was discovered around 1850 by David Taylor, the gardener of Camperdown House in Dundee, Scotland, it was a contorted sport found creeping along the ground in the nearby forest, he brought it back and planted it on the estate grounds, where it still remains today. David Taylor took cuttings from this sport and grafted them onto Ulmus glabra. Camperdownii can't be grown from seed, it's a top grafted cultivar. Today all the scion wood grafted came from this original cutting.
This plant is a fast grower up to 25' tall and just as wide, creating a weeping rounded mound that holds year around interest in the garden; from it's weeping waterfall shape in full leaf, to it's contorted zigzagging branching that are on display during the winter months.
SCULPTURED PINES - for spring 2016 shipping
We have limited numbers of varied heights, forms and shapes of premium sculptured pines, selected for their unique and superior character, that are available for spring. At the time of digging, the soil level will be brought down to expose the trunk crowns and enhancing the structure for a bonsai aesthetic .
Pinus sylvestris 'Nana Compressa'
- USDA Zone: 5 (-10 to -20 F)
Pinus sylvestris known as Scotch Pine, are known for their flaky orange/red-brown bark and their blue/green paired needles. They are native to Northern Europe and Northern Asia, they grow in moist, acidic, well drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of a variety of soil types, including poor soils, as long as the drainage is good. They prefer cool summer climates and dislike the heat and humidity of the deep South. The 'Nana Compressa' is an extremely slow growing dwarf form, 1-6 inches per year, 3-6 feet tall at 10 years. Our mature specimens have been cloud or hindu-pan pruned, creating a bold distinction for the garden.
Pinus thunbergii var. corticosa ‘Hakuho’
USDA Zone: 5 (-10 to -20 F)
The bark on 'Hakuro' develops cork like, deep fissures at an early age, giving even a young plant an aged look. This variety retains it's dark green needles through the winter. The furrowed dark brown bark is extremely showy adds significant winter interest. Like all black pines 'Hakuro' requires full sun, prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or PH, and is able to handle environmental salt. They are highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, making them a good candidate for artistic pruning to create a Asian aesthetic in the landscape or patio garden.
Pinus thunbergii 'Arakawa Sho'
- USDA Zone: 5 (-10 to -20 F)
This is a wonderfully hardy Black Pine of the corky bark variety, a tough tree native to the sea cliffs of Japan. This mature specimen, long-needled pine can be easily maintained and transformed to recreate the look of the twisted and tortured cliff dwellers, by pruning twice a year. In June (timing varies by climate) remove all the new candles that are longer than one inch, many new shorter candles will form a whorl of branches. In November, reducing the whorl will reduce the 3 inch needles to 2 inch, this allows you complete control of the size and shape of the tree.
SPECIMEN APPLES- Unique character
Limited quantities of mature picking apples have become available to us and they are beauties! Calipers range from 3-8"! These are at a northwest Oregon orchard and the fruit has occasionally been harvested by local cider companies. Very tasty!
Apple 'Red Baron' specimen
Apple 'Gravenstein' specimen
Most of these have unique, slightly slanted trunks giving each its own individual, yet similar, appearance.

Some, like the Spartan, have smaller straighter trunks.

One of, if not the most, impressive Snowbell specimens we've ever come across. The size and overall habit are amazing on their own, and then you notice the trunk!! It looks like it was poured from liquid wood.

Acer p.d. 'Emerald Lace' cascading
We've been training some Acer p.d. 'Emerald Lace' to cascade, creating ideal plants for water features or dry rock features. Some are already 9'+ long and ready to augment your hardscape. The first photo below shows an established plant (not for sale) utilized in a landscape. The following photos are the ones on-site at Jaycee Newman that are available now.
