Acer palmatum 'Arakawa' | Rough Bark Japanese Maple
Arakawa is a highly sought-after Japanese maple known for developing distinctive rough, corky bark that gives the trunk an aged appearance as the tree matures. Its green palmate foliage creates a classic Japanese maple appearance through the growing season before producing brilliant scarlet-red fall color.
Arakawa is particularly prized by Japanese garden and bonsai enthusiasts for its unusual bark, which becomes increasingly pronounced with age. It develops into a vigorous, broad-upright tree suitable as a landscape specimen, container-grown feature tree, or exceptional material for future bonsai development. Iseli Nursery lists the mature size at approximately 15 ft. tall by 12 ft. wide.
Container size: 6 gallon
Nursery grade: AB grade
Inventory number: JM005
Growth habit: Broad upright
Special feature: Rough, corky bark that becomes more pronounced with age
Light in Central Texas: Morning sun with afternoon shade recommended
Water: Keep evenly moist while establishing and avoid allowing the root ball to completely dry.
