Extremely rare in the trade, 'Koto No Ito' is grown for its delicate,
lacy, thread-like GREEN leaves which emerge in early spring and remain
green all summer - Perfect as a
small-growing specimen tree next to the deck or patio.
Leaves then turn incredible reds and oranges, before dropping for
winter.
'Koto No Ito' is a grafted Japanese Maple, thus more expensive to
produce than a "seedling" tree.
In
our area, 'Koto No Ito' grows very slowly to only about 10' tall and
wide. Expect 8-10" growth a year.
Plant in a spot that receives a bit of shade from the hottest part of
the afternoon summer sun.
