Acer palmatum 'Aoba jo'

Beautiful Green Dwarf Japanese Maple

Zones 5-8

‘Aoba jo’ is a unique dwarf Japanese maple with tight internodes. Yes, the overall shape is very “Mikawa-like”. The leaves are less elongated than ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’, and are rounder. The leaves on ‘Aoba jo’ are less uniform, as some leaves are flat while other leaves may cup downward slightly. In the spring, ‘Aoba jo’ leafs out as a bronze, turning to bronze red-tipping by mid-spring on a brighter chartreuse leaf. By late spring the leaves mature to a dark green. In the fall, ‘Aoba jo’ turns to a bright yellow with orange to red highlights. ‘Aoba jo’ may reach 3-4 ft in height and width in 10 years. Give ‘Aoba jo’ protection from the hot afternoon sun for best growth.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
