Insights
The wonderful changing foliage of an acer is enhanced in this example by the superbly rich colour of its branches and stems, hence its name Sango-Kaku which translates as ‘coral tower’. Acers do need a sheltered position where their delicate foliage can dance on the breeze and have some protection from the elements.
