A Seasonably Fashionable Maple for the Holidays
December always conjures up images of preparing for the Holiday season. With cookies needing to be baked, packages wrapped and family and friends visiting from afar, there is little time to focus on the garden. It is a shame, since there are a number of plants that look seasonally fashionable and retain their cheerful colors throughout the winter. A tree I have always deemed most appropriate for the season is the Coral Bark Japanese Maple or Acer palmatum ‘Sango-Kaku’.
