Special Attributes

Acer palmatum ‘Koto No Ito,’ commonly called the Harp Strings Japanese Maple, is a medium-sized Japanese Maple adored for its fine, long, and thin leaves that provide a beautiful, soft texture in the garden. The leaves emerge extremely thread-like in spring in a lime-green shade turning to medium green by summer and then golden to orange shades with the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall. When the leaves drop for winter, the beautiful bright green bark is exposed, providing wonderful winter interest in the landscape. Koto No Ito tolerates heat and sun exposure and will perform well as far south as USDA Zone 9.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, a Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or plant one on both sides of an entryway.

Suggested Spacing: At least 12′ for space between trees

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Cultural Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in the ground or in containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Koto No Ito is one.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
