The Coral Tree normally prefers warm conditions, yet the Coral Bark Japanese Maple shows stronger tolerance to cold temperatures.



1. The plant represents a historically cold-resistant Japanese maple rather than the typical tropical coral tree.



2. Stays healthy in USDA zones 5–8.



3. Needs full sun to partial shade.



4. Offers dramatic winter appeal with red stems.



5. Loves moist, well-drained soil.



A Coral Tree replacement can have year-round appeal when selecting this maple tree.
