Japanese Maple Specialists
We’ve added some more varieties to our website.
However, due to the poor spring/early summer not all varieties made it to a saleable size this year to sell online.
We do offer over 100 varieties of Acers at our nursery in Dorset, ranging from small plants in 1-litre pots to 8-foot trees.
A selection of our 1-litre Acers will be available online, though not year-round, as we are a small family business and don't always have the capacity to ship them.
However, the 1-litre Acers, along with other sizes, are available year-round at our Dorset nursery.
While we graft over 10,000 plants each year, not all are sold in 1-litre pots, as many are potted into 3-litre pots and larger sizes (e.g., 7.5-litre).
Barthélemy & Co was established in 1920 and is a family-run nursery offering an old-fashioned atmosphere with a friendly one-to-one service. Our nursery is situated approximately 3 miles east of Wimborne at Stapehill, Dorset. All of our plants are propagated and grown at our nursery and we sell all sizes from seedlings to 8ft trees.
Around the nursery, we have planted mature trees which make a beautiful display, especially in the autumn.
We are well worth a visit!

Drawing on many years of experience propagating and growing Japanese Maples, we can help and advise customers when they are choosing from our extensive range. The pot-grown plants are available in various sizes and are suitable for bonsai, balcony and patio or garden. The plants are mound-forming, bush or upright in habitat. Many Japanese Maple varieties have contrasting leaf forms that complement each other, these range from Filigree to Autumn moon.
Throughout spring, summer and autumn the delicate foliage of the Acer presents exquisite shadings of Mother Nature’s gold, pink, purple, green, yellow, orange and red. Acers are a delightful addition to anyone’s garden, giving an aura of peace and tranquillity. For any advice please send us an email or give us a call.
