Acer palmatum 'Kinran' forms a small tree with beautiful foliage of lacy, deeply divided, long, pointed leaves. They emerge with a rich, bronzy-red in spring with prominent bright yellow-green mid-veins. The foliage turns green with a pink cast in summer and as the fall sets on they turn to a bright gold with crimson highlights. Famed for its glorious fall color, ‘Kinran’ means ‘woven with gold threads’, a perfect description of its delicate foliage. This maple tree features an upright, spreading habit and adapts well to container or bonsai use.
For orders placed before Feb 28, 2026, maples will not be pruned and the heights listed in descriptions will be correct - after that date, all maples
taller that 15-18" will be pruned to 15-18" and description heights are no longer correct.
We are now accepting orders for spring 2026 shipping season. Plants will be pulled when ordered and held until it is safe to ship in the Spring (we might make exceptions for Deep Southeast customers if they want winter shipping - but we won't ship if we feel it's not safe).
Orders being held for Spring are non refundable. Multiple orders will be processed separately. We will be in contact one to two weeks prior to shipping to confirm shipping date.
Thanks and have a great Winter. We will be busy grafting and potting lots of new plants for you for 2026!
