Acer palmatum 'Oto hime' Dwarf Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Oto hime'
Dwarf Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
‘Oto hime’ is a small compact dwarf Japanese maple maple with small green leaves. The habit is more flat and toadstool-like. Dr. Creech of SFA Gardens says these types have become a favorite of his. The dense multi-branched shapes lend well to bonsai training. The lateral growth make this short Japanese maple excellent for containers. ‘Oto hime’ may reach 3 ft in height by 5 ft in width in 10 years. Make sure to give ‘Oto hime’ protection from the hot afternoon sun in zone 8 and 9. Fall color on ‘Otohime’ can range from yellow to orange or even red.
