Sango Kaku Japanese Maple, also known as Coral Bark Maple, is a standout ornamental tree prized for its bright кораl-red bark that intensifies in winter. Soft green foliage emerges in spring, provides light texture through summer, and turns golden-yellow to orange in fall. It delivers strong four-season interest, making it ideal for focal plantings and high-visibility areas.

Why Japanese Maples Stand Out
Strong Color Impact Deep reds, purples, and seasonal color changes create contrast and draw attention.
Unique Forms From upright trees to cascading weeping varieties, each adds structure and movement.
Perfect Focal Trees Ideal for entryways, patios, and front yards where a single tree needs to stand out.
Our Japanese maples are selected for cold hardiness and structure. We focus on varieties that perform in New England, not just look good in a catalog.

The crew was very friendly and walked the property with me before planting so we could discuss where the trees would be planted. They were very thorough and left the property clean afterwards. Definitely recommend their installation service.
Ordered online and came the next day. Exactly what I was looking for. Tree was in great shape.

These were exactly what we were hoping for. The foliage has a really nice golden tint that brightens up our yard compared to the typical dark green arborvitae. Plants arrived healthy and planted easily. Very happy with the purchase.
