1 Live Plant Winter Red Coral Bark Japanese Maple 6 Inch Tall 1 Year Old Acer palmatum

The Winter Red Japanese Maple is a distinctive selection of Acer palmatum prized for its vivid coral-red winter stems and delicate, finely cut foliage. This young plant stands about 6 inches tall and is one year old, making it an ideal starter specimen for gardeners who want to establish a striking focal point in a small garden, border, or container. Its graceful habit and changing seasonal color make it a rewarding choice for both new and experienced growers.

Grown for its ornamental value, this maple offers bright winter interest when its bare stems show their deepest color. In spring and summer the leaves provide soft texture and shifting tones, and the plant works well as a patio container specimen, a mixed border accent, or part of a Japanese-style garden. It grows slowly and responds well to consistent moisture and protection from harsh afternoon sun.
