I am trying to find new homes for some Japanese maple trees to open up space for a vegetable garden. The previous owner of my house planted quite a lot and they are pretty close together, so they are tall but the trunks are thin, and no lower branches. (I believe he was planning to relocate them around the yard but health issues prevented that.) Not specimen trees at the moment, but I think they may branch out better if they had less competition. I estimate most of them are between 12-15 feet tall and 1-1.5in stem diameter, probably 4-5 years old. I've moved several myself to other places in the yard - I wasn't great about watering them but they have survived despite my neglect!
A few of the trees have nursery tags and I've seen cultivars 'Bloodgood', 'Emperor I', 'Kihachijo', 'Chisio Improved'. I've taken pictures of their summer foliage in case someone is looking for a specific type, since I'm guessing they are about to change to fall colors and head into dormancy. There are 46 that are green through the spring and summer and 11 that are reddish, but they all get very vivid colors in the fall.
I'm asking $15 per tree, but if anyone is interested in multiple we can work something out. I can help dig out with a shovel and load them up. Weekends and Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday evenings are best for me.
(There are also a few Korean Stewartia trees I'd like to relocate, but I've read those don't transplant well. If anyone wants to take a chance on them, you are welcome to try.)
I'm located in Brecksville within a mile of the intersection of I77 and Rt 82.
