Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This magnificent tree is a hybrid snakebark maple with coral-red to red winter bark with silvery striations. The bark colours up earlier, takes on deeper colours, and maintains colour longer into the spring than the coralbark maple 'Sango Kaku'. Through late spring and summer the bark takes on tones of apricot and yellow again with the silvery striations. Large green leaves turn golden yellow in fall.

is a hybrid of A. davidii and A. pennsylvanicum. The bark positively glows in the winter. This small tree to 15' has large leaves that turn yellow in fall. Very narrow growing and has that wonderful red and white striped bark.

Few maples, or any tree for that matter, can crow about bark this bright in winter; from peach to a candy-apple-red, the trunk and branches are incredible! Fine striations make the bark all the more vibrant. This is a medium-sized tree to 25' tall with a rounded crown and golden color to gild the autumn.
