Acer palmatum 'Ibo Nishiki'


2006 (Ebay) This is known for its rough bark. Unfortunately, it takes years before it begins to show the "warty" bark. I plan to put it in the ground next year. It is really vigorous and actually grows too fast in a container. Other than the bark, it just looks like any old maple, nothing special. In ground 2010 and no problems 2011. Pruned severely (2011) to try to display the bark, which is beginning to look corky and rough.
