Here is a list of the maples I have in training. They are arranged in order of ease of growing and maintenance and lowest will be rarity I suppose :-)

Acer Beurgerianum - Trident
Acer Palmatum - Japanse
Acer Palmatum - Japanse Red Maple
Acer Palmatum Deshojo - Japanese
Acer Palmatum Dissectum - Japanese dissected Maple - Seriyu
Acer Palmatum Dissectum - Japanese dissected Maple - Horizontalis

this is another type but I do not have one of these
Acer Campestre - Field Maple ( i do not have one)
