‘Koto No Ito’ is a delicate Linearifolium type Japanese maple, renowned for its finely cut leaf lobes, which give the appearance of harp strings. The leaves emerge in a bright lime green, transitioning through yellow, orange, or red in the fall, depending on the exposure to light. This beautiful cultivar's delicate form and vibrant seasonal changes make it a stunning addition to any garden, especially for those seeking a tree with intricate leaf patterns and dynamic colour shifts. Its name, meaning "harp strings" in Japanese, perfectly captures its graceful, musical quality.

Grows 15’ tall. Hardy to USDA zone 5.
