Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku'
Choose Sango Kaku Japanese Maple for a visible front-yard or courtyard spot where its coral winter bark can carry the off-season. The tradeoff: it needs some shelter from harsh exposure and is not a privacy plant.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The coral bark, fine foliage, and fall color make this a strong focal tree in a place where people will actually see it. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it will not give fast shade or instant structure. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on watering during dry stretches and doing light, careful pruning rather than hard shaping. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It fits many ornamental spaces, but it still needs breathing room and should not be squeezed against walks or walls. |
| Screening Value | D | Its open branching and ornamental habit are for display, not blocking views. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Sango Kaku for a sheltered, high-visibility spot near an entry, patio, or window rather than an exposed lawn edge.

It is strongest in winter, especially on younger stems.
It can, but afternoon protection is better on hot, dry sites.
Yes, if you give it room and avoid tight corners or reflected heat.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
