Acer palmatum 'Senkaki', commonly known as the Coral Bark Maple, is a stunning deciduous Japanese Maple prized for its vibrant coral-red bark, which provides exceptional winter interest. Fresh green leaves emerge in spring, creating a soft, elegant canopy before turning brilliant shades of golden yellow and apricot in autumn. During winter, the striking coral-red branches become the highlight of the landscape, making this tree a standout feature throughout every season.
Compact and easy to grow, Senkaki thrives in full sun to part shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its graceful form and year-round ornamental appeal make it ideal for Japanese gardens, courtyards, feature planting, and decorative containers. Combining beautiful foliage, spectacular autumn colour, and vivid winter bark, the Coral Bark Maple is one of the most distinctive and sought-after Japanese Maple cultivars.
