Acer Palmatum (Sango Kaku) Coral Bark Maple 24 inch box

Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’ — Coral Bark Japanese Maple

The Coral Bark Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’) is a celebrated ornamental tree prized for its brilliant coral-red bark and delicate, finely textured foliage. Renowned for its year-round visual interest, this exceptional maple brings a sense of artistry, elegance, and seasonal drama to luxury landscapes.

In spring and summer, fresh light-green leaves create a soft, luminous canopy that gently filters light. As temperatures cool, the foliage transforms into golden yellow tones, before dropping to reveal the tree’s signature feature—vivid coral bark that glows against winter skies. Its graceful branching and refined scale make it a standout specimen in both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

Thriving in partial shade with protection from intense afternoon sun, ‘Sango-kaku’ prefers well-drained soil and regular moisture. Its moderate growth habit and manageable size make it ideal for courtyards, entry gardens, patios, and focal plantings, where year-round beauty is essential.
