About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Sango kaku', commonly known as the Coral Bark Maple, is an elegant small tree prized for its year-round interest. Its standout feature is the vibrant coral-red branches that provide stunning winter appeal. In spring, delicate green leaves emerge, turning bright yellow with touches of orange in the fall. This Japanese Maple adds texture and color to gardens and landscapes, pairing well with other trees and shrubs for multi-seasonal beauty. Perfect for small spaces, it also thrives in containers.
