Sango Kaku

PreviousNext

Sango Kaku is an upright Acer, which will eventually reach up to 3m tall, as a shrub-like tree. It is commonly known as the Coral Bark maple, on account of the bright coral red colour of younger shoots. Over winter these bare stems provide a bright focal point in the garden.

The dainty palmate light green leaves are attractive over the spring and summer, and turn gold in autumn.
