Otaki Japanese Maple is a relatively sizeable full moon type maple. With its stunning deeply-lobed leaves reaching sizes of 3 to 4 inches, this tree will make an impact on your landscape. Otaki Japanese Maple has green leaves with bluish casts in the summer, turning to shades of red-crimsom, gold, and orange in the fall.
Striking and large, nearly round 9-to-11 deeply-lobed leaves clothe this exquisite 10-15' tree/shrub. Foliage emerges in spring soft-green with an aquamarine tint before deepening to rich green for summer. This specimen is especially lovely in fall when it provides the garden with brilliant gold, orange and red colors. This plant makes a fine accent and it should be planted more often! S-PSh/M
