Koto-no-ito’, meaning “harp strings” in Japanese, is an elegant upright maple with fine, thread-like green leaves that turn vibrant orange and red in fall. 

It grows slowly to about 6–8 feet in ten years, eventually reaching around 10 feet tall and wide. Its mix of narrow and wider lobed leaves creates a soft, airy, almost tropical appearance—perfect as a graceful focal point.
