Sango-kaku Coral Bark Japanese Maple – 1 Live Tree, 1-Gallon Size – Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’

Sango-kaku Coral Bark Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’) is a deciduous ornamental tree recognized for its colorful seasonal foliage and distinctive coral-red young branches. Its brightly colored bark becomes especially noticeable during winter after the leaves have fallen, providing visual interest throughout the colder months.

In spring, delicate yellow-green leaves emerge with subtle reddish margins. The foliage develops into a soft green during summer before transitioning to golden-yellow tones in fall, sometimes accompanied by orange or red highlights. The tree's graceful branching structure and changing colors make it suitable for ornamental landscapes, Japanese-inspired gardens, and decorative garden focal points.

This listing includes 1 live Sango-kaku Coral Bark Japanese Maple in the 1-gallon size category. The seller has not specified the shipping height, root condition, or whether the nursery pot is included. As a deciduous tree, it naturally loses its leaves during autumn and may arrive leafless during winter dormancy.
