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.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Best of all, it's easy to own. This Coral Bark Japanese Maple is heat and drought tolerant. Harsh summer temperatures don't faze this amazing tree.

And we groom it to perfection, with all of its roots intact, so that it arrives healthy and ready to thrive. You'll receive a healthy tree that has performed perfectly at our nursery and is ready to excel in your yard or container. Order yours now!

Love my Coral Bark Japanese Maple

My tree arrived well packaged and in good condition. I planted it right away and had no issues with leaves burning or any issue whatsoever. It looks beautiful and I love it.

Beautiful Tree

I am amazed at how well Fast Growing Trees packs and ships their trees. I could not find this tree anywhere locally, so ordered it. It arrived quickly and very healthy. Now it fills the place in my backyard that was bare. I look forward to the coral bark showing this winter. When I need trees in the future, I will start with Fast Growing Trees.

Adorable Tree

This has replaced a 50' maple tree which we recently had removed. While it's much smaller than the maple, it looks better in the yard. Delivery was quick and tree arrived in excellent condition. So far, it's thriving and looks very healthy. The coral bark enhances the tree's interest.
