Acer Palmatum or Japanese Maples include ever-increasing numbers of new and interesting forms almost by the month. They range from dwarf shrubs to small trees.

Acer Palmatum has a finely distinct pink flush, before becoming bronze-green and then green They are easy to grow and prefer a little dapple shade and a site out of strong winds. Best planted in slightly acidic soil and not too wet. When pruning Japanese maples you should consider doing in Autumn/Winter when the sap is falling as doing it in spring can make them bleed too much and it is possible to lose entire limbs.

Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku' is a striking deciduous shrub renowned for its vibrant and captivating appearance throughout the seasons. Also known as the "Coral Bark Maple," it is celebrated for its striking coral-red stems, which provide a beautiful contrast against its delicate green foliage. The leaves offer a pleasant green hue in spring and summer, and they turn a vivid orange-red in autumn, adding a burst of seasonal colour to any garden.

Where to Position Your Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku'

Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku' thrives in partial shade to full sun, though it benefits from some protection from harsh midday sun. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil that remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ideal locations include shaded garden areas, woodland edges, or as an eye-catching focal point in a mixed border. Providing some shelter from strong winds will help preserve the beauty of its delicate branches.

Growth and Maintenance

Applying mulch around the base can help retain moisture and maintain a stable root environment. Light pruning may be necessary to shape the shrub and remove any dead or damaged branches, ensuring a healthy and visually appealing plant.
