'Quirky Disposition'

Rare Cork Bark Sweet Gum

Zones 5-9

'Quirky Disposition’ is quite a quirky tree! ‘Quirky Disposition’ at a young age looks just like many other sweetgum at a young age. The green leaves in the spring turn to yellows, oranges, and reds in the fall. As it ages, it develops a corky bark that makes it very unique and different. This cork bark on the branching gives a very distinctive aged appearance. We don’t quite know the height of ‘Quirky Disposition’, however other cork bark trees of other species are typically slower and shorter than the species. I would expect somewhere around 20 ft in height in 10 to 15 years. ‘Quirky Disposition’ was found as a chance seedling by Scott Carver and introduced by Suncrest Gardens. The original name on this tree was ‘Corky Disposition’.

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.
