Acer palmatum 'Bihou'

Rare Yellow Coral Bark Japanese Maple

Zones 6-9

This recent introduction from Japan is strikingly unique and amazing. It leafs out in the early spring with rich green palmatum leaves over a bright yellow bark creating a dynamic contrast that will grab anyone's attention. In late fall, the foliage turns to bright yellows to oranges.

In the winter garden, 'Bihou' makes a statement with its bright yellow branching and upright Japanese maple habit. This selection does best when given dry conditions with consistent watering. Morning sun with protection from the hot afternoon sun is recommended in the deep south while full sun is recommended further north where the sun is not as intense. This provides the best yellow coloration and the best growth from this plant. This unique Japanese maple is a must for most gardens. This tree will be 10-12 ft in 15 years.

Came in great condition

My maple looks great. I got it planted before the huge rain from Helene so may something good will come from it.

Lovely & Hardy

Love the golden fall leaves and the bright winter branches. Sango Kato coral bark doesn't do well with the fickle climate of south central Indiana. Late freezes inevitably bring about it's demise. But Bihou has no problem with our crazy weather. Japanese maples with colorful bark along with conifers provide winter interest. It is the longest season after all.
