Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark Maple

This another great new smaller addition to the color bark group of Japanese maples. Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark Maple was discovered as a sport in Houston, Texas. This smaller stature tree is a beautiful stand out in the Winter landscape, displaying bright red branches sure to brighten any day. Not much is known about this new variety, but Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark Maple has a very strong resemblance to one of my favorites, Fjellheim Dwarf Coral Bark Japanese maple.  My estimate is that Baton Rouge will reach a maximum size of 8 feet or so, with a bushy form.

Care and Planting tips for your Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark maple:

Make sure your Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark Japanese maple is planted with good drainage. Examples of techniques for ensuring proper drainage include planting the tree in a raised bed, planting on a slope, and creating a planting mound 4 to 6 inches above the existing grade. Baton Rouge Dwarf Coral Bark Japanese maples require moist, well drained soil. Amending the soil with organic material and adding an organic mulch over the planting area is also recommended. It is suited for sun and part sun conditions.
