A slow growing, bamboo-leaf Japanese Maple. This variety is a great selection for all-summer color. Beautiful red leaves have lone narrow lobes. The name means "the tube" in Japanese. Fall color is orange to red.

LINEARILOBUM, red. Similar in habit to 'Ko to no ito'. That alone would make me want this plant! It also is the darkest red throughout the growing season of any of the linear type maples and turns orange in the fall. I can't think of anything more I would want in a Japanese maple.
