Japanese Maple Coral Bark
Click on my picture to purchase me for your garden Categories: Tree / Small | DescriptionAlso known as a Sen kaki, the famous Coral Bark Maple displays a sensational coral tone on its twigs in winter, making a fabulous display in an otherwise subdued landscape. The coral red contrasts beautifully against snow, sky, or grass. Delicate foliage is light green during the growing season, brightly yellow in autumn. Growing to 10 feet, this is a rare horticultural gem that will add distinction to any property! Especially choice shrubs or small trees, Japanese Maples are magnificent in form and foliage, delicately textured in spring and summer, and, in many cases, unequalled in fall color. Very tolerant of heat and humidity. Spur pruning of established plants will ensure a good growth of young, highly colored twigs for winter display. Zones 5-9. One-gallon container." |
