Got my hands on one of these rarities. Does anyone know if is identical to 'curly lamp post' or ?
Acer platanoides 'rezek'
I don't know whether Rezek is same as Curly or not, but I had a funny experience with Curly.
I had one for about ten years - it was advertised to grow as much as a foot a year (straight up, of course).
Mine was small when I got it, of course - about 8 inches tall, I guess.
It had maybe 2 leaves at the top, otherwise a stick.
For ten years, it put out 2 leaves at the top. Never grew an inch.
At ten years of age, still 8 inches tall w/ 2 leaves.
Its only leaves finally got nibbled by something, apparently a fatal event.
R.I.P., Curly.
Hope your Rezek is more of a grower.
Hmmmm. I love those mysterious growth plans. Just wish it had a happier ending. I'll report back next spring...
It looks like it has had an insufficient application of herbicide...
or an aphid infestation.
