Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku'

(Full plant info in our Plant Finder)

This outstanding Japanese maple cultivar is renowned for its exceptional winter interest, displaying brilliant coral-red to orange-red bark that glows in winter sunlight.

The five to seven-lobed leaves emerge bright green with red margins in spring, remain fresh green throughout summer, then transform into spectacular golden-yellow autumn colours. The upright, vase-shaped habit creates an elegant silhouette, whilst the smooth bark becomes increasingly vibrant as temperatures drop.

'Sango-kaku' provides year-round garden interest, with the bark colour being most intense on younger wood, encouraging regular appreciation of this remarkable tree's winter beauty.
