Acer palmatum Koto maru

Acer palmatum Koto maru

A very hardy dwarf that is tightly shaped in upright form small leaves that are colorful throughout the summer with new pink/ red/ yellow growth  all the way till Fall when a burst of color transforms this little JM into a big flush of red/gold/orange . Stays small and keeps it color well in sun,shade and wind . This has become a favorite of mine. I have one in the front yard and does well in shade .. it is super compact, very hardy and stays small. It is one of the best dwarfs out there and VERY easy to grow. Zone 6 tree.
