| Content | The Japanese Senkaki Maple is the only maple tree which provides beautiful vibrant colour all year round, with it’s bright coloured bark that really stands out in winter. This is why it is commonly known as Coral Bark Maple.
The Senkaki Maple is a beautiful small tree and is one of the best examples of a Japanese maple, providing your garden with a lovely small feature tree as a centre piece. It grows approximately 4-5m wide and high.
Light green foliage appears in spring then turns to classic autumn tones. As the leaves start to fall the stems of the trees turn to a “fire engine red” colour for winter. This superb tree makes a wonderful feature in any sheltered spot in the garden. | | Begonia tuberous
Tuberous Begonia are perennials known for their vibrant coloured blooms that originate from South America. The Tuberous Begonia will begin to sprout in early Spring and will flower from Summer to Autumn. During winter they are dormant! |
