Description
Observing at Maillot Bonsai for 5 years, the first signs of the corky appearance were noticed as early as the second year.
The "Super Cork" by Hubble is a new introduction of one of the finest selections of pin-bark maple by Scott Hubble of Metro Maples in Texas. This selection produces the corkiest bark among all rough-bark Japanese maple varieties to date, and does so at an earlier age. This gives 'Hubble's Super Cork' a more mature appearance from a young age. The foliage is green in summer and turns orange and then red in autumn. We expect 'Hubble's Super Cork' to reach 2 to 3 meters in 15 years. It thrives well in sunny conditions.
