Brilliant Coral-Red Bark with Golden-Yellow Fall Color
'Sango Kaku' is a medium growing, upright deciduous broadleaf shrub or small tree that reaches 20 to 25 feet tall and spreads 15 to 20 feet wide. This stunning Japanese maple is famous for its brilliant coral-red bark that provides exceptional winter interest when the leaves have fallen. The green foliage emerges with pink tones in spring, turns bright green in summer, and transforms to golden-yellow in fall for multi-season interest. This larger 15 gallon size provides maximum instant impact and the most mature presence in the landscape. Thriving in partial shade and preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil, Coral Bark delivers reliable performance with minimal maintenance once established. The vibrant bark color is most intense on young branches, making this variety a standout in winter landscapes.
