Sooner Plant Farm Bihou Japanese Maple
Best unique specimen for adding year round garden interest.
This is the rare tree that actually looks better in winter than in spring. While its delicate foliage provides a soft seasonal backdrop, the real show is the vivid, coral-toned bark that commands attention once the leaves drop. It demands well-drained soil, but the trade-off is a year-round architectural centerpiece.
