Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods. If you find that your plant or pot has arrived in a less than satisfactory condition, please reach out to us at hello@plantsforallseasons.co.uk within a month of your delivery date. When contacting us, please provide your order reference, alongside a photo clearly showing the damaged item and its packaging, including the delivery label. We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate. It's also worth noting that the plant you receive may slightly differ from the images displayed on our website. This variation is natural, given that each plant is unique and subject to seasonal growth changes.

Acer palmatum ‘Sangokaku’, commonly known as the Coral Bark Maple, is one of the most popular Japanese maples, celebrated for its striking coral-red young stems which provide exceptional winter interest. Its elegant structure, delicate foliage and year-round beauty make it a standout choice for gardens large and small.
Foliage: Palmate leaves emerge a soft yellow-green in spring, sometimes tinged with pink, and mature to a fresh light green through summer. In autumn, they turn brilliant shades of gold, apricot and warm orange, creating a stunning seasonal display.
Bark: After leaf fall, the young shoots and branches reveal vivid coral-red bark, which glows particularly well in low winter light or against evergreen backdrops. This striking feature gives ‘Sangokaku’ its common name.
Habit: A graceful, upright, vase-shaped small tree typically growing to 4–6 metres high, with a spread of around 3–4 metres over time.
Overall appeal: Offers multi-season interest — fresh spring growth, elegant summer foliage, glowing autumn tones and vibrant winter stems.
Because of its year-round display and relatively robust nature, ‘Sangokaku’ is a favourite specimen for lawns, near patios or in sheltered borders.
Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight, but ‘Sangokaku’ is one of the more sun-tolerant Japanese maples, coping well with morning or late afternoon sun.
Protect from hot, intense afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch, especially in exposed gardens.
Choose a sheltered site, out of strong or cold winds which can damage delicate leaves and reduce winter bark intensity.
Likes soil to be consistently moist but well-drained.
Water thoroughly during dry spells, particularly in the first few years after planting or if grown in pots.
Mulch in spring with bark or compost to conserve moisture and protect the shallow roots.
Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, humus-rich soil.
Avoid very alkaline or heavy clay. If needed, plant in raised beds or containers using ericaceous compost mixed with grit for improved drainage.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or a specific acer feed.
Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers which encourage lush, soft growth that is more vulnerable to wind or frost.
Needs minimal pruning.
Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter while dormant.
Avoid hard pruning which can spoil its elegant, layered shape.
Generally robust and trouble-free.
May occasionally attract aphids on new shoots.
Leaf scorch (browned edges or tips) is usually caused by drought, strong winds or intense sun, not by disease.
An excellent choice for a large pot, especially on patios or where garden soil isn’t suitable.
Use ericaceous compost with added grit, ensure the pot drains well and is raised on feet.
Water consistently and protect roots in harsh winters by wrapping or moving to a sheltered spot.
