Acer palmatum 'Bi Hoo' | Golden Bark Japanese Maple - 100-140cm - 15lt

Acer palmatum 'Bi Hoo' is a striking Japanese maple cultivar admired for its vibrant, textured bark and dynamic seasonal foliage. During winter, this deciduous tree showcases a stunning yellow-orange to coral bark, providing significant winter interest, contrasting the bleak surroundings. This bark coloration becomes a prominent feature as the tree matures and older bark peels away.

In the spring, 'Bi Hoo' produces small, inconspicuous flowers complemented by delicate, light green leaves which transform into a lush, deeper green in the summer. These palmate leaves are characterized by their serrated edges, typical of the Acer palmatum species, creating intricate patterns in the canopy.

Come autumn, the foliage transcends into a brilliant display of yellow, orange, and sometimes red, adding a spectacular finale to its seasonal performance. The diversity in color and texture throughout the year makes 'Bi Hoo' an enchanting focal point in gardens and landscapes.

Reaching around 15 feet at maturity, it is a relatively small tree, making it an ideal choice for smaller landscapes or confined spaces. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and protection from harsh winds and extreme sun, ensuring optimal growth and health. The unique characteristics of 'Bi Hoo' offer year-round aesthetic appeal.
