About this plant
Acer palmatum 'Kuro hime' is a charming dwarf Japanese maple, highly valued for its compact form and stunning foliage. This variety produces small, deeply divided leaves that emerge in vibrant red tones during spring, transitioning to lush green for the summer months, and finishing the year with brilliant orange and red fall color. Perfect for small gardens, containers, or as a focal point in landscape designs, 'Kuro hime' provides year-round interest despite its petite size. This cultivar is ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance ornamental tree.
