Acer palmatum 'Hoshi zora' Weeping Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Hoshi zora'
Rare Starry Sky Weeping Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Hoshi zora' leafs out in the early spring as a bright green with small to medium-sized palmate leaves. The habit is extremely weeping and cascading. We recommend staking this selection up and allowing it to cascade from a higher point. 'Hoshi zora' is one of the newest selections of Japanese maples from the famed Kobayashi Momi En in Japan. 'Hoshi zora' was found as a chance seedling from 'Ryusen' and is said to have a brighter fall color than its parent. 'Hoshi zora' was given to us on one of our recent trips to Japan by the Kobayashi Family. This is its first ever availability in the United States. The name 'Hoshi zora' translates as "starry sky".
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
The tree arrived safely and in good condition. As a weeping tree some of the branches were a little tangled in the shipping box but were readily untangled. The tree was leafed out--Nice. Would recommend this nursery if you are interested in dwarf maples. They ship via FedEx Ground which was of some concern as I live in Utah; however, each of the two purchases arrived in good condition.
Received my tree in timely manner in good shape healthy. Looking forward to,getting perfect pot and placing on my fenced in deck as as I have a deer problem in yard.
Nice maple. The reason I rated it four out of five stars is because the one I received is a little wonky/crooked.
My little Hoshi Zora tree made it to my house safe and healthy. It was well packaged at delivery, and there was zero damage to its branches. The leaves sprouted open the following day, showing just how beautiful it truly is! I’m very pleased with my purchase, and will continue to buy from this seller. I can’t wait to see the fall foliage on this one!
Hoshi Zora made the perfect weeping bonsai. It arrived healthy, well packaged and had plenty of buds. Makes a beautiful specimen tree. I highly recommend Mr. Maple!
