Acer palmatum 'Tobiosho'
Tobiosho Japanese Maple
If you only have room for one Japanese Maple, Tobiosho is a great choice! The form is dense and upright with a broad canopy. Spring and summer foliage is a tranquil green, then as autumn nears, the show begins! Bright golden hues appear in the lower levels of the foliage and gradually rise upward, then the leaves transition to vivid oranges, and finally, bright, scarlet reds burst forth for one of the most outstanding fall dispalys of any of the Japanese Maples. Hardy, reliable and easy to grow. Tobiosho is an amazing specimen, border or accent.
