Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku'
Acer palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’, also known as 'Sango Kaku' Japanese maple or coral bark maple, is a highly ornamental variety renowned for its vibrant coral red young stems, particularly noticeable in winter. Its delicate yellow-green foliage in spring turns light green in summer, then transforms into golden yellow in autumn, offering a luminous spectacle over three seasons. Its upright and graceful habit is perfectly suited for planting as a specimen, along borders, or in mass plantings, where it becomes an architectural focal point. It prefers cool, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, as well as partial shade to non-scorching sunny exposure, to protect its young branches and preserve the brilliance of its colors. ‘Sango Kaku’ is an essential maple, combining winter interest, evolving foliage, and a slender structure, perfectly adapted to Quebec gardens.
