Koto No Ito Japanese Maple

Koto No Ito Japanese Maple is often called "Harp String Japanese Maple" as the Japanese name ‘Koto-no-Ito’ is translated to “harp string” to reference the string-like quality of this Japanese Maple’s narrow, deeply divided leaf lobes. Acer palmatum ‘Koto-no-ito’ also has a dense, twiggy branch structure that resembles the harp frame. The very unique, finely 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 that continues the show throughout winter.
