Its very narrow, finely-pointed lobes give a lovely lacy effect to this 6-9' mounder along with a unique coloring, green over-toned with red-purple, that turns gold in fall. S-PSh/M
Purple-red if grown in sun or burgundy-green if grown in shade, this fantastic Japanese maple has plenty to recommend it. Its long, strap-like leaves, burgundy-orange when new, create a lacy appearance and contrast nicely against darker mature leaves. The
Villa Taranto – a dwarf maple is a reddish green and cream variegated version of Koto no ito. It grows well in full sun to partial shade and has a ‘V’ shape, which is common for many Japanese Maples. Villa Taranto is in the linearilobum group of maples which means it has string-like leaves. When a leaf first emerges as new growth it is wider compared to older leaves on the tree. Each subsequent year a leaf emerging from the same leaf node gets skinnier and skinnier – so older leaves growing lower on the branches become really skinny until they are like thin strings. Fall color is yellow to orange. Villa Taranto is not a large maple only reaching 5′ to 6′ feet tall and 5′ wide in 10 years. A nice addition to a small garden or grown in a patio container. Once established this cultivar is hardy to -20 degrees, USDA zone 5.
