Acer palmatum ‘Sango kaku’
Coral Bark Sango kaku Japanese Maple

Zones 6-9

Sango kaku is a beautiful large coral bark Japanese maple. This Japanese maple tree has a spectacular bright red bark that stands out in any time of the year! The leaf of ‘Sango kaku’ in the early spring is a vibrant lush green and new growth often has light flushing of red on the edging. The fall color of Sango kaku is a beautiful bright gold-yellow with hints of red splashed in. The golden-yellow contrast magnificently with the coral bark. Sango kaku grows best in sun to filtered light. Heavy shade tends to wash out the bark color on some coral barks. Sango kaku can reach up to 20-25 ft over time.

It may surprise you to find out that we enjoy Sango kaku the most after the leaves had dropped. The cool temperatures brighten the coral bark Japanese maple as it adds amazing color even late in winter after all the other garden colors are gone. The bright warm colors of the red bark stand out so nicely accompanied by snowfall and this is one of our personal favorite times to view the beauty of Sango kaku. This amazing coral bark Japanese maple tree is sure to add year-round color to your garden and become one of favorites to photograph in any season.
