About this plant

The Acer palmatum 'Beni kawa' is a deciduous tree with an upright, vase-shaped habit, making it a stunning focal point in a garden. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-9 and prefers cooler temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. During the fall, its foliage transforms into a brilliant display of fiery reds and oranges. This variety features vibrant coral-red bark, especially striking in the winter months. The green leaves are delicate, offering a lush canopy during the growing season. It grows well in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, doing best in a partially shaded location where it can reach a height of 15 to 20 feet at maturity. While not known for significant deer resistance, its colorful bark provides year-round interest, making it an excellent choice for adding contrast to any garden landscape.
