Coral Bark Maple

Originally from China, Korea and Japan. Known for its coral red branches, which stand out against a green backdrop, it is a recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. It has an upright, vase-like habit and leaves of a rich green that turn to a golden-yellow in Autumn. Yet this is a tree whose best show might actually be when the leaves drop in Autumn, exposing all of those dramatic red branches, especially in a fully grown version at 4 x 2.5 m.

Suitable for: Courtyards, group or specimen plantings in sheltered areas.

Features: Fine vibrant green foliage in summer.

Botanical Name: ACER palmatum Senkaki
