Tobiosho Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Tobiosho’

From spring through summer, this JM displays a dense, green canopy supported by its broad, upright habit, even in its youth. When autumn arrives, a breathtaking display of brilliant colors takes over the foliage, starting with gold on the lower branches and transitioning into orange and scarlet, until all three colors adorn the tree simultaneously. Eventually, the entire tree turns a striking scarlet, creating a truly spectacular sight!
