coral bark Japanese Maple

Marie Tulin
13 years ago

Is any growing coral bark maple successfully in zone 5? I've reading about them, and I am beginning to doubt that they are fully hardy here. Pretty predictably it gets down to 5 degrees a couple nights each winter.

The tags said hardy in z5.

Thanks for your experience.

Marie
