Notes
'Kagiri Nishiki' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Kagiri Nishiki') is a tree for specimen, accent, and woodland use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes average to moist soil. It grows slowly into a broad shape, so give it room, and bees and birds visit its spring flowers. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It tolerates drought once settled.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Autumn fern, and Coralbells.
