Acer palmatum Koto ito komachi

Acer palmatum Koto ito komachi

A very rare dwarf with leaves like harp strings close to fairy hair but not quite as slender really really close and much more vigorous grower.. It can take full sun but does better with some mid day shade . it is a slow grower and stays small but not as slow as most other super fine leafed JMs . It is very hardy with little die back but as stated above can burn like almost all JMs in full sun.. This one stays small and leaves occasionally revert to more Koto no ito type but because of small stature it can be easily trimmed off.. Reversion on many JMs can happen... but they are easily trimmed off once a season without much adieu  . This one when you can get it is well worth purchasing .. it is a J.D Vertrees selected seedling and would look great in your garden setting as does mine.  Zone 6 tree
