Another Lockdown project involved planting a Japanese Maple in this large glazed pot.
Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku' or Coral Bark Maple is so named because of the vivid pink stems in winter. Once the foliage re-appears in the spring and summer, the colour of the stems subsides. In the garden, this Maple will grow to about 6m high and 5m wide. In a pot, the tree won't reach those numbers. The foliage is green for most of the year, turning yellow and orange in the autumn.
The Maple will be viewed from the kitchen window, so the pink stems of this variety should provide some interest in the winter. Under planted with some Polyanthus for some extra winter colour.
