Description
Coral bark maple trees (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’) are Japanese maples with four seasons of interest in the landscape. In spring, its seven-lobed, simple palmate leaves open in a bright lime green or chartreuse color. As spring turns to summer, these leaves turn a deeper green. In autumn, the foliage turns hues of fiery red, bright yellow and rusty orange as seen here. But it still isn't done for as the foliage drops in fall, the tree’s bark begins to turn an attractive reddish pink, which intensifies with the cold weather, adding a touch of welcome contrasting color to a gray, snowy landscape.
