Product Description
Koyuki Japanese Maple is a unique upright cultivar known for its unusual foliage and delicate appearance. Its small green leaves feature creamy-white veining and variegation that can give the foliage the appearance of being lightly dusted with snow. The name 'Koyuki' translates to “little snowflake,” a fitting description for this distinctive collector maple.
As the season progresses, the foliage matures to shades of green before transitioning to warm reddish-orange tones in fall. Its compact size and unusual leaf shape make 'Koyuki' an excellent specimen for smaller landscapes, containers, 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.
