Acer palmatum 'Koto maru' Dwarf Japanese Maple Full sun Due to its compact habitAcer palmatum Koto maru is a fast growing dwarf Japanese maple. Koto maru has very small, rounded leaves that emerge in the spring yellow with a red oranges border. The coloring of the leaves really puts on a show in the spring. The leaves then fade to a light green throughout the summer. Fall color is then orange to red. Koto maru will have long shoots of new growth while it is young, but it will develop into a dense, shrubby tree at maturity. 10
