Acer palmatum 'Arakawa'
Palmatum Group
'Arakawa' translates to rough bark and that perfectly
describes the most outstanding feature of this interesting cultivar. It takes
3-5 years for the bark to begin to develop its bark, but once it begins to
develop it soon becomes an amazing site. The bark on older plants looks allot
like that of a pine tree. The leaves of the new growth emerge with a yellow
tint turning green as summer arrives before turning orange or yellow in fall.
'Arakawa' works well for bonsai.
Height: 12-14 feet Width 10-12 feet
