Coral bark maple


Coral bark maple (acer palmatum sango kaku)

We got this a few years ago and in winter is a great splash of colour in the garden

Fantastic colour Sl, is the bark as bright when in leaf? :-)

Thanks, it's always quite red but the new growth is a bright coral red, the leaves start green then lime green turning to amber and finally red before falling off, it's always a nice tree to look at.

It would be worth growing for the bark alone:-)
