Acer Palmatum Sango-Kaku

Sango-kaku is an extremely popular acer cultivar, sporting colourful deciduous foliage for most of the year. One of the most striking features of this variety is the vibrant coral-pink coloured stems, the bare branches themselves become a wonderful focal point during winter, ensuring year round interest. The leaves themselves initially develop as a pinkish yellow before maturing into a lush green at the height of summer, these leaves eventually mellow into a softer yellow colour during autumn, providing a wonderful contrast with the stems.

This japanese maple prefers to be planted in full sun, but can easily adapt to a partially shaded position in your garden. Sango-kaku can tolerate most soil types, so long as the planting area is moist, but well-drained. We would like to remind customers that the images are for illustration purposes only. Due to the deciduous nature of this plant, your tree may arrive without leaves depending on the time of year.
