Clearly this is one of my top ten Japanese maples. Koto no Ito is fascinating in the spring when it unfurls it's long-lobed lime-green leaves, a process that takes quite a few days and is one of those fun wonders of nature to experience; gorgeous in summer when its thin lobes float on a breeze; and dazzling in the autumn when it takes on a vivid golden-orange hue sometimes tinged in red. In each season it holds its color well for weeks, so it deserves a prominent place in the maple garden.
