Full Description
The Acer palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’, often called the Coral Bark Japanese Maple, is one of the most distinctive Japanese maples thanks to its bright coral-red bark that glows during the winter months. When the leaves drop in fall, the colorful branches create a striking display against the winter landscape.
In spring, the tree produces soft light-green leaves that add a fresh and delicate look to the garden. Throughout the summer, the foliage remains a pleasant green, providing a calming contrast to darker plants and trees.
As autumn approaches, the leaves transform into brilliant shades of golden-yellow often accented with orange, creating a beautiful seasonal display before revealing the coral-colored bark again for winter.
