Acer palmatum 'Arakawa' | Rough Bark Japanese Maple
Arakawa is a distinctive Japanese maple prized for the rough, corky bark that develops along the trunk as the tree matures. The textured bark gives even relatively young trees an aged appearance and provides year-round interest.
This individual tree, JM006, already displays excellent rough-bark development along the lower trunk. Its green palmate foliage provides a classic Japanese maple appearance through the growing season, followed by brilliant fall color.
Arakawa is especially sought after by Japanese garden and bonsai enthusiasts because of its unusual bark and vigorous upright growth. It makes an excellent landscape specimen, container-grown feature tree, or candidate for future bonsai development.
