Japanese maple ‘Unknown’ officially named ‘Jewels’

August 6, 2008

Stanley and sons has officially named there seedling maple that was previously known as ‘Unknown’ to ‘Jewels’ in honor of their new daughter-in-law and Steven’s wife Julie Meloy.  She is known as ‘Jewels’ in e-mails and text messages.

For all of you that have purchased the maple as ‘Unknown’, please at some  point, change the tag so that ‘Jewels’ is not confused as being a new variety.

‘Jewels’ was founded 20 years ago as a seedling in their understock.  It is a nice rounded shaped maple similar to a hime type.  You can check the website for a new photo of the maple which is a photo of the original stock plant at Stanley’s.
