Acer palmatum ‘Aoba jo’Beautiful Green Dwarf Japanese MapleUSDA Zones 5–8 ‘Aoba jo’ is a unique and highly refined dwarf Japanese maple prized for its tight internodes and compact, architectural form. Its overall habit is often described as “Mikawa-like,” but with key distinctions. Compared to ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’, the leaves of ‘Aoba jo’ are rounder and less elongated, and the foliage shows more natural variation—some leaves remain flat while others gently cup downward, adding texture and character. In spring, ‘Aoba jo’ leafs out in bronze, transitioning to bronze-red tipping by mid-spring over a brighter chartreuse base. By late spring, the foliage matures to a deep, rich green, giving the tree a clean and elegant summer appearance. Fall color is vivid, with bright yellow foliage accented by orange to red highlights. This true dwarf selection is expected to reach only 3–4 feet in height and width in about 10 years, making it ideal for small gardens, rock gardens, containers, or specialty plantings. For best performance, provide protection from hot afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates. A distinctive dwarf Japanese maple offering layered structure, refined foliage, and excellent four-season interest. 📦 Important Notes: Sold As Is: The tree shown in the photo is the exact one you'll receive.
