Product Description
Kawahara Rose Japanese Maple is a beautiful upright cultivar prized for its colorful new growth. In early spring, the foliage emerges in striking shades of salmon pink to rosy red before transitioning through orange tones and eventually maturing to green for summer.
Later in the season, a fresh flush of orange-red to rosy new growth creates a beautiful contrast against the mature green foliage. Fall brings another color change, with leaves turning bright shades of yellow and orange. Its manageable size and changing seasonal color make 'Kawahara Rose' an excellent specimen for smaller landscapes and Japanese maple collections.

Japanese Maple Care
Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Most varieties prefer morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates. Water deeply when needed, allowing the soil to remain moist but never waterlogged. For the best results, always consider the specific sun, size, and growing information listed in the Tree Details above.
