Acer Senkaki

Acer palmatum Senkaki, also known as Sango-kaku, and commonly known as Coral Bark Maple, is renowned for its striking, coral-red bark which provides a spectacular display of colour during the winter months when the leaves have fallen. During the growing season, its leaves are a soft green with a delicate yellow hue that transitions to golden in autumn, creating a beautiful contrast with the vivid bark.

Perfect for smaller gardens or as a focal point in larger landscapes, Senkaki thrives in partial shade to full sun. It prefers moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. This variety is particularly noted for its visual appeal throughout all seasons, making it a valued choice for year-round interest in the garden.

Acer palmatum Senkaki reaches a mature height of about 6 metres with a spread of around 4 metres. Its moderate size and striking colouration of both foliage and bark make it a standout addition to any garden setting, offering a unique aesthetic appeal across different seasons.
