'Hubbles Super Cork' Japanese Maple - Cutting Grown

Hubble's Super Cork originated as a sport (or chance seedling, stories vary) of Arakawa and was introduced by Scott Hubble at Metro Maples. The primary differences is that Hubble's develops the signature pine bark in 2-3 years rather than 3-5 of Arakawa, making it a fantastic choice for those wanting to develop the aged appearance sooner. These trees all originated as cuttings from one of our specimen mother trees at the nursery, so there's no graft union to contend with and the prized bark will develop from twigs down to the exposed nebari.

Note that this species is deciduous and will not have leaves if shipped during the winter. The trees pictured are representative examples and will not be the exact trees you receive. Some may have wire for movement or branch placement.
