Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 23, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This selection arose as a witches'-broom on the popular coral-bark maple , 'Sango kaku'. Like the parent, this selection has similar bright coral-pink bark. The leaves are Palmatum Group and plain green, becoming yellow in fall. Unlike 'Sango kaku' which forms a small tree, 'Fjellheim' will stay shorter and bushier, making it suitable for smaller gardens or containers.
