Acer Palmatum 'Sango-Kaku'

Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku' is attractive throughout the year. In spring the leaves are a lively pinkish green, turning a rich green in summer and then canary yellow with orange highlights in autumn. It also makes a fine winter feature, with the bark on all its younger shoots and branches a conspicuous coral red. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
