Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Sango Kaku Japanese Maple, Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku'
One of the most architecturally compelling small trees available, Sango Kaku delivers four distinct seasons of visual interest, from luminous spring foliage to blazing autumn colour and brilliant coral-red stems that command attention through the coldest months. At advanced sizes, its sculptural form is immediately apparent and requires no establishment period to perform.
Why Sango Kaku
Coral-Red Winter Stems: Vivid bark colour intensifies through the cooler months, providing striking structural presence when most trees offer nothing.
Seasonal Foliage Sequence: Soft lime-green in spring transitions to full green in summer, then to rich golden-yellow in autumn, a complete seasonal arc in a single specimen.
Refined Upright Form: Naturally elegant, upright habit reaching 4 to 6m. Minimal corrective pruning required when sourced at advanced size.
Adaptable and Resilient: Frost-hardy and performs well across a range of aspects; tolerates full sun to partial shade with consistent results.
Enduring Landscape Value: A specimen-grade tree that appreciates over time, adding measurable character and distinction to prestige properties.
Ideal Applications
Signature Feature Planting: Positioned as a standalone specimen where year-round form and colour are the design objective.
Courtyard and Enclosed Landscapes: Scale and refined habit make it the preferred choice for architecturally framed spaces.
Japanese and Contemplative Gardens: Integral to considered, minimalist landscape compositions where each element earns its place.
Contrast Planting with Evergreens: Seasonal colour shifts read powerfully against dark or dense evergreen backdrops in mixed professional plantings.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 6m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring
Soil & Drainage: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil; avoid waterlogged or highly alkaline conditions
