Acer palmatum 'Sango-kaku' is the most well known Coral Bark Maple tree, renowned for its striking coral pink-red stems. Producing pink young growth and yellow/orange, deeply lobed new foliage in the spring, the leaves turn a lush green in summer and then a pretty soft yellow in autumn.

After the foliage display is over, the bare branches of Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku' make a stunning focal point in winter. Triggered by a cold spell, the stems and bark turn vibrant coral pink-red. Thus known as a Coral or Red Barked Maple, it makes the perfect feature tree with year round interest.

Gees Bobby. Just saw this thread again and realised I actually highjacked it with my carry on. Didn't even occur to me at that time to respect you progression thread. Sorry mate. I was soooo jacked. I'll start my own progression threads on them come spring...which is a very long time away for me :(
