Bright Red Bark and Ever-Changing Leaves

Why Coral Bark Japanese Maple Trees?

Intense red color, even in the winter - the Coral Bark Japanese Maple Tree makes the ultimate statement. Bright red bark adds a spark of personality throughout the winter months. It grows upright and while it's on the larger scale compared to most Maples, it is compact and ideal for small yards...and even patios.

Plus, foliage color changes leave an eye-catching impression. While the red bark makes a statement in the winter, the foliage steals the show throughout spring, summer, and fall. Green leaves emerge in the spring and have reddish-pink tinges of color at the tips of them.

As the seasons progress, the leaves transform into a medium green color, that deepens to an almost neon green for the summer season. It finally takes on autumn-like hues of fiery red, bright yellow and rusty orange in late summer into early fall.

Beautiful specimen at affordable price

I could not be happier with my purchase and experience. My Japanese maple arrived fast and packaged well. It is a beautiful specimen. I saw the same size tree in my local nursery that was not as nice and was way more than double what I paid. This is my second purchase from Fast Growing Trees and I highly recommend them.

Maple Doing Very Well

We started our Coral Bark Maple in a large pot on our front porch where it did very well. I had to take down a storm damaged tree in my side yard and decided to replace it with our Coral Bark Maple. It is thriving and continuing to grow very well in this new environment. One of the prettiest trees in our yard!

BEAUTIFUL

After nine months the tree looks very good. We had a mild winter. It has been very dry also. I would water it every other week. Spring is early here. It has all of it's leaves now.
