Abstract: A novel variety of the maple tree Acer truncatum was discovered in North Texas. It has a distinct dwarf size and prolific, very small leaves which weigh down its thin, willowy branches, giving it a weeping bushy habit. It exhibits distinctive, pink new growth which persists throughout spring and summer and into fall, whereupon it develops striking, deep yellow and red fall colors. The variety known as ‘Baby Dragon’ also is highly tolerant to direct summer sun and low-light conditions alike, as well as drought conditions, especially for a dwarf variety.

Abstract: A novel variety of the maple tree Acer truncatum was discovered in North Texas. It has a smaller mature size than typical Shantung maple mature size, and its leaves have an unusually deep cut between lobes, extending about two-thirds (?) of the distance from tip to base, with a distinctively elongate and narrow (almost thread-like) unfurling central lobe that widens as it matures. It exhibits consistent yellow-green leaf color throughout the spring, summer and fall, developing striking red-orange and yellow-pink coloration variations in the fall. Its coloration contrasts sharply to its lighter yellow-green veins which appear almost white and enhanced as the leaf darkens somewhat during summer. The variety known as ‘Super Dragon’ also is extremely tolerant to direct summer sun and drought conditions.

Abstract: A new and distinct Acer rubrum cultivar, named the ‘JSC Kingstwo’ maple is characterized by its variegated pigmentation of its leaves that varies with the age of the leaf; whereas, trees of Acer rubrum have no variegation known to the inventors.

Abstract: A variety of sugar maple, Acer saccharum, subspecies, Caddo, named ‘WHIT XLV’, is characterized by an upright and oval growth habit at the age of 16 years, but is expected to develop a more rounded crown with age and may reach a height of 30 feet with a 25 foot spread. Leaves emerge medium green and quickly change to very dark glossy green. When adequate spring moisture is present, all leaves on the flush of growth develop full size. However, when spring moisture becomes limiting before all leaves on the twig are produced, the younger leaves will become progressively smaller in size yet the same shape and dark green color. No flowers have been produced on this tree by age 16 years. Fall color develops late in the fall after various species of trees have developed fall color and most of the leaves have fallen.
