Acer palmatum 'Koto maru' Japanese Maple new Ariadne is all about subtletyAn upright dense bush that emerges in spring with pink on the edges of the bright green new leaves. Typical of a witches broom, the leaves are small with the center lobe either stunted or absent giving an ruffled appearance. A pleasure to grow, slow but consistent, with internodes spaced enough apart to distinguish individual leaves. A range of red, orange and yellow in the fall. Excellent for bonsai.
