Plant Overview

Acer Jap Sango Kaku

Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku'

Japanese Maple 'Sango Kaku' is a ornamental deciduous tree. Treasured for its extraordinary coral-pink to red winter bark — branches glow brilliantly in the winter sun — combined with soft green foliage and outstanding yellow-orange fall color for year-round multi-season beauty. Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil in dappled shade to morning sun. Afternoon shade in hot climates prevents leaf scorch. Wind protection is beneficial. The ultimate specimen tree for focal points, courtyard gardens, and landscapes where exceptional foliage color, graceful form, and year-round elegance are paramount.
