Case Study

A contemporary home with a progressive landscape design was a welcome break from cottage-style landscaping for Vidosh North. The two phase project dealt with the challenges of difficult access to the site, extreme slopes and daily erosion control, and invasive vegetation management.

Acer rufinerve ‘Sunshine’ – One of the most amazing plants in the auction is Sunshine, a yellow and green variegated plant with a large leaf and the potential to be a fantastic understory tree or accent in the landscape.


Acer longipes 'Gold Coin’ – Gold Coin has one of the most electric flushes of new growth out of any maple.  Starting off bright orange when emerging, fading to a pure yellow leaf this tree has tons of intrigue as a specimen in the landscape and for its potential impact as a cut branch in floral design.

Known for having one of the most extensive Japanese Maple collections in the country, Ed and Debbie Shinn have created a masterful garden with dynamic color throughout the year. The Shinn Arboretum mixes the textures, color, and various forms of Japanese Maples with a mix of rare conifers and ginkgos, creating an awe-inspiring canopy. Ed and Debbie are contributing a collection of rare and unusual selections of variegated Japanese Maples and a few fun forms of Ginkgo. All of the plants were grafted

by Ed in 2022, and are some of the hardest to find trees that any collector would adore for years to come. Both of the maples featured are part of the auction at the Great Lakes, Great Plants Symposium.
