Acer palmatum 'Koto maru' Japanese Maple new We needed a big redAn upright dense bush that emerges in spring with pink on the edges of the bright green new leaves. Typical of a witches broom, the leaves are small with the center lobe either stunted or absent giving an ruffled appearance. A pleasure to grow, slow but consistent, with internodes spaced enough apart to distinguish individual leaves. A range of red, orange and yellow in the fall. Excellent for bonsai.
