Acer palmatum ‘Hubble’s Super Cork’
Japanese Maple - Hubble's Super Cork
A brand new rough bark Japanese Maple! Unlike other similar varieties, this one develops its corky rough bark at a very young age, mimicking the look of some pine tree’s bark. New spring foliage is bright green and matures to a darker green by summer. For fall, the foliage changes to stunning reds and oranges. Grows 8-10′ high by 4-6′ wide in a 10 year period.
