Korean Maple vs Kentucky Coffeetree
Acer pseudosieboldianum
Gymnocladus dioicus
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
The Korean Maple is an ideal accent tree, and is similar in size and shape to the Japanese Maple, but much hardier. The leaves have long, finger-like lobes that turn striking shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.
It is recommended that pruning be done during the summer after the leaves have fully developed to ensure sap does not "bleed" down the tree.
The Kentucky Coffeetree has the largest leaves of any native tree in North America! In the summer, its large green canopy provides shade. While in the winter, its leathery bean pods act as a decorative element against the sky as they rattle in the wind. Beautiful year-round, this tree is an elegant addition to any landscape.
