Introducing the Acer caudatifolium Kawakami Maple, a stunning snakebark maple from Taiwan. Renowned for its intense fall colors of red and yellow, this deciduous tree can grow up to 70 ft in height and boasts striking bark of deep green veined with darker shades. Its leaves are narrow with a tapered tip and 2-4 underdeveloped lobes, and are thin and light to mid-green in color with doubly serrated margins. The flowers come in racemes and produce fruit of a stunning light lime green with wings that meet at an obtuse angle. This beautiful tree is a member of the snakebark section of maples and can grow in high-altitude mountain forests between 6000 and 6500 ft. The word "Acer" is derived from the Latin word for maple tree, meaning sharp, alluding to the wood's use for spear shafts by the Romans. The specific epithet "caudatifolium" refers to the length of the tip of the leaf. This exquisite tree is perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to any garden or landscape.
