Japanese maples are the perfect option for adding dramatic autumn leaf colour to the garden, as well as year round shape and structure. Acer palmatum \'Sango-kaku\' is by far one of the best, grown as a large deciduous shrub or small tree; it looks fabulous all year round. Coral-red young branches bear 5-lobed leaves which open pinkish-yellow, turning green in summer and yellow in autumn. As the plant matures, the stems develop a vibrant red tint. In winter, once all the leaves have fallen, the new red shoots glisten beautifully in the winter sunlight; it\'s no surprise that this Acer has received a prestigious RHS AGM. Height: 8m (26\'). Spread: 4m (13\').Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
