Sango kaku / Coral bark Japanese maple

[@sammysworld5485]

I recently planted one. This JM is very versatile & prefers to be in more sun than shade. I’m in zone 7. Appreciate the upright habit & tends to be a vigorous grower than other maples.

How dose this tree do in direct sun. I was looking at planting one but the place id have to plant it would have it in direct sun for 9 hours. Would it tolerate that much sun? Im in zone 7

Im afraid that is too much. Safe would be direct sun only in the morning hourse if you can manage. You can plant it in the ground in a (large enough container) and if you see leaf burn you can take the entire container out of the ground and relocate it.

So I ordered a sango kaku that I planted in my yard. The bark did turn red but the leaves were this brilliant shade of orange/red but not yellow. Did I get another variety?

[@mapleticker]

Leave color may vary depending on the season. If the bark is red it must be a sango kaku ❤️🙏

Thanks for another excellent video ….. I have a Sango, but you have inspired me to buy a second! I appreciate your videos and commentary. Q.) How will it do in full sun?

[@mapleticker]

Thanks Ron! This prticular specimen is is in semi sun. So that’s what I would do.

Can you trim this tree? And what's going on when the bark doesn't turn red anymore??? Mine grows weird long wild shoots in odd places...

[@mapleticker]

You can trim any tree, yes. Best to do it right after the spring growth period in late may/early June. Older branches lose the coral color, cant do anything about it.
