Product Description
Acer palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’ (also known as ‘Senkaki’ or Coral Tower Maple) is celebrated for its unique coral-red bark that provides striking colour and structure throughout the cold months. This Japanese maple’s young branches glow vividly in winter, making it a true standout against bare landscapes.
In spring, the tree bursts to life with pale-green, palmate leaves tinged with crimson, gradually softening to light green as the season progresses. By autumn, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of yellow and gold, creating a spectacular seasonal display before falling to reveal the richly coloured stems beneath.
Ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or as a specimen feature, Sango Kaku thrives in moist, well-drained soil and enjoys a position in full sun or partial shade. Its refined form and graceful branching make it a perfect addition to tranquil, contemplative garden settings.
