Acer palmatum 'Koto-no-Ito'
Acer palmatum 'Koto-no-Ito', meaning "harp strings" in Japanese, is an exceptional maple with very fine, narrow, thread- or ribbon-like foliage, offering a unique and elegant texture. In spring, its soft green leaves open gracefully, before turning golden yellow in autumn, creating a striking contrast. Compact and upright, this maple is ideal for Zen gardens, rock gardens, or container plantings. Its moderate growth and refined appearance make it a popular choice for bringing lightness and movement to any landscape design.
