Acer palmatum 'Kristin's Star' Japanese Maple
ACER PALMATUM 'Kristin's Star'
Rare Kristin's Star Spring Color Japanese Maple
AREA 51 COLLECTION™ PLANTS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD
Zones 5-9
'Kristin's Star' is an excellent dwarf Japanese maple from the Area 51 Collection at MrMaple.com. Found as a chance seedling by Bill Taylor of Spartanburg, SC, and named after his wife, Kristin. This tree has continued to blow us away each and every year. Some years, 'Kristin's Star' will leaf out almost a bright coral-pink, while others a bright orange-yellow. The chartreuse foliage with the coral tinting on the new growth gives this tree complimenting colors after the spring color has faded.
The dwarf habit of 'Kristin's Star' is what makes this tree extra special. Think of having a tree like the cultivar 'Akane' but without the fungus issues. 'Kristin's Star' is an A++ Japanese maple for sure. Fall color is typically shades of bright orange to red. We expect 'Kristin's Star' to reach 5 ft in height and width in 15 to 20 years.
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
Customer Reviews
Arrived in good shape and put on new growth within the first week.
Amazing trees and customer service!!
What a beautiful, healthy specimen that I have received from Mr Maple. As with most of my Japanese Maples, I have decided to put her in a pot for the first year. I expect to be able to find the perfect spot in the landscape by being able to move her around, if need be. You can’t go wrong by ordering your JM from Mr Maple! From ordering to receiving your JM I can assure you that you will receive the best customer care possible!
A real spring beauty! Slow growth and small leaves make this a great fit anywhere especially in my collection. Everyone needs a Kristan's Star!
