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.

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.

Extremley pleased

I ordered a Coral Bark Japanese Maple tree for my daughter and received it quickly. I have always been hesitant to order a tree online, but this is the tree we wanted for her smaller space and we couldn't find one at local nurseries and have been very pleased with previous shrub orders from Fast Growing Trees. The tree is gorgeous! It was well-packed, thriving and fuller than I imagined it would be. I am sorry I don't know how to post pictures. We are in love with this tree! Will definitely order trees again from Fast Growing Trees. Thank you!
