Commonly considered to be one of the
choicest small japanese maples, this plant is aptly named. Bright
coral red in spring, fading to red-green but with new growth maintaining
the coral red colors. This semidwarf plant is very slow growing, eventually
reaching 6-10' in twice as many years. Best color in full sun, although
Corallinum prefers a little summer shade in very hot areas. Zones:
USDA 6; Sunset 2-10, 12, 14-24, Alaska-3.
