‘Nishiki gawa’ is one of the most popular Japanese maples in Japan. This cultivar has a very unique “pinebark” habit. The “pinebark” appears on older growth as the juvenile bark matures. Nishiki gawa is a classic tree and adds a unique look to any garden. ‘Nishiki gawa’ can reach up to 10-12 feet in 15 years. The pine-like bark is bound to catch anyone’s eye as it stands out beautifully on a tree with palmatum leaves. Fall color can range from yellow to orange-red.

This Japanese maple tree also is very popular in the bonsai trade for its interesting bark.
