Acer p. 'Koto no ito' B&B 4'

The name 'Koto-no-ito' means "harp strings", a reference to the string-like quality of this Japanese Maple's narrow, deeply divided leaf lobes. It also has a dense, twiggy branch structure that works as the harp frame. The unique, divided leaves have a tinge of red in spring, stay green during summer, and change to yellow in fall. Bright green bark and a graceful, elegant form carry the show in winter. A somewhat slow grower to 7' tall and 4' wide in 10 years. Best in afternoon shade. Hardy to Zone 5.
