MrMaple.com - Nichols Nursery - NC - Japanese Maple

‘Kotohime’ is an amazing miniature upright Japanese maple. This tree grows very dense and compact giving it a very nice appeal for containers or bonsai. ‘Kotohime’ grows up to 4 feet. This cultivar leafs out in the spring with deep green leaves that grow close together. The fall colors range from orange to red. This tree is an excellent addition for anyone looking to add an exotic ornamental tree that does not grow very large. “Koto” refers to a harp-like traditional musical instrument in Japan while “hime” literally translates as princess, referring to this tree’s dwarf size.
