Discover the allure of Acer micranthum, the captivating Komine Maple, renowned for its exceptional beauty and versatility. Winner of the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, this native Japanese maple graces gardens with its enchanting elegance. Its small, snakebark form, combined with delicately shaped, deeply lobed leaves, offers a visual treat, transforming from a vibrant green in summer to fiery shades of orange, yellow, and red in autumn.

This deciduous tree thrives in mountainous regions of Japan, reaching heights of 20-35 feet, and spreads up to 25 feet, perfect for intimate garden spaces. Its slender, arching branches boast smooth, striped bark that matures into a textured gray, while young red shoots present leaves adorned with distinctively serrated edges. In spring, enjoy the emergence of red foliage and watch as pendulous, greenish-white flowers bloom in early summer.

Ideal for USDA Zone 5, Acer micranthum thrives in morning sun with afternoon shade, offering a striking garden presence. Its fall colors are unmatched, making it a sought-after addition to any landscape. Embrace the enchanting beauty of Small-leaved Maple and let it transform your outdoor haven.
