Acer Sango Kaku (Coral Bark) Japanese Maple is a delightful small tree with beautiful foliage and brilliantly colored bark in the winter. Leaves emerge pinkish-yellow with red edges in the spring, and small, reddish-purple flowers decorate the tree among the new leaves and turn to red samaras later in the season. The leaves change to a darker, solid green in the summer and soften to yellow in the fall. After the leaves drop and the temperatures get colder, a brilliant, deep pink color develops on the young branches and twigs, creating a bright spot of color in the winter landscape. Coral bark Japanese maple is a slow- to moderate-growing woody tree that will grow to 20-25 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide. Plant it in full sun to partial shade and in moist, well-drained soil.
