Botanical nameAcer palmatum 'Tobiosho'

Acer palmatum ‘Tobiosho’, also known as 'Tobiosho' Japanese maple, is a remarkable selection prized for its exceptional autumn coloration, often considered one of the most intense among Japanese maples. Its bright green, deeply lobed and slightly undulated foliage transforms in autumn into a spectacular gradient of vivid red, fiery orange, and golden yellow, vibrant even in partial shade. Its upright and well-balanced habit makes it a perfect ornamental tree for a standalone feature or a mass planting, bringing structure and light to the garden. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, ‘Tobiosho’ adapts well to well-drained soils, in a sunny position that isn't scorching or in partial shade. Its harmonious form, classic foliage, and flamboyant autumn make it an ideal choice for temperate Quebec gardens.
