Arakawa
Arakawa is also known as the “rough bark maple” because it has a unique corky bark. The rough bark will begin to show up anywhere after 3-5 years of growth and becomes quite prominent as the maple ages. These trees are popular amongst bonsai lovers for their unique bark which develops even when dwarfed. In Japanese, “ara” means “rough” and “kawa” means “bark”. This variety, while known for it’s bark also has fantastic fall color with leaves turning bright orange and red.
If planted in the landscape, Arakawa will grow to 18-20 feet by 12-15 feet wide . Sun with part shade is best. Hardy to -20 degrees. Suited for zones 5-9.
*note* These plants may be grafted 3-4 inches up from the base. If you are looking for bonsai, please check our maples for bonsai selections.
