Introducing the captivating Acer palmatum 'Omato', an exquisite Japanese Maple that epitomizes seasonal transformation and timeless beauty. Known for its vibrant chartreuse green leaves with large amoenum leaf structure, 'Omato' captivates with its visual appeal throughout the year. As spring unfolds, the tree's bright leaves emerge, adorned with enticing orange edges, complemented by the striking contrast of red-winged seeds often affectionately termed "helicopters."

As the seasons transition, the foliage adopts a verdant green hue in summer, with hints of bronze depending on sun exposure, showcasing its admirable sun resistance. With the approach of autumn, 'Omato' steals the spotlight with a spectacular display of rich red leaves, infused with sensational purple hues, providing an unparalleled fall color extravaganza. Reaching an impressive height of 20-24 feet with a rounded vase form, this durable tree is not only breathtaking in stature but also a symbol of strength and elegance, offering captivating architecture even during the barren months of winter.

Hardy to Zone 5 and well-suited to full sun exposure, the 'Omato' Japanese Maple makes for a splendid addition to patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces, enriching environments as a small yet striking shade tree. With a robust branch structure and exceptional cold-hardiness, this maple promises years of enthralling beauty, maturing to dimensions of 15-20 feet wide over time. Whether you're seeking to transform your landscape or infuse your space with vibrant colors, 'Omato' is an excellent choice for bringing nature's artistry to your doorstep. Please note that seedlings grown from our seed may not resemble the mother tree.
