Acer palmatum Sango-Kaku

Acer palmatum Sango-Kaku Details

Acer palmatum Sango-Kaku is a stunning Japanese Maple due to its striking foliage. Small, soft looking leaves emerge yellow-green in spring with reddish margins. They mature to a light green in summer before turning golden yellow in autumn and falling. It grows with an upright and vase shaped habit to about 6 m tall and 5 m wide, though can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, periods of dry, and a range of soil types but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. Acer Sango-Kaku makes for a magnificent specimen and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, planting to soften a bland wall, or for using anywhere the spectacular colours can be enjoyed.
