This green Japanese maple tree is a small, deciduous, ornamental tree featuring exquisite charteuse-green, cutleaf foliage in spring and summer. The upright, slightly cascading shape reaches a height of 3m (10 feet), making this dwarf Japanese maple a great choice for even the smallest gardens. The stunning yellow autumn colour of Koto No Ito Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Koto No Ito'), along with its delicate looking foliage make this cultivar a showy specimen for any garden. In the spring, the narrow, deeply-lobed, delicate leaves unfurl a light green colour, maturing to a vibrant chartreuse-green in the summer. This cultivar belongs to the linearilobum Japanese Maple group, also known as Threadleaf Japanese Maple. In Japanese 'Koto No Ito' means 'Harp Strings' referencing the beautiful thread / string-like quality of the leaves. The 'Koto No Ito' cultivar is sometimes referred as the Harp-string Japanese Maple. Once autumn arrives, the real show begins, as the leaves turn a captivating golden-yellow hue. All season the narrow-lobed foliage will dance in the breeze, giving the Koto No Ito Japanese Maple another common moniker of 'Dancing Monkey Tree'. This low maintenance, slow growing, green cutleaf Japanese maple is a perfect choice for a showy focal point in any urban or Japanese garden. It is stunning over three seasons!
