Acer 'Johin'

Overview

The Johin Japanese Maple (Acer 'Johin') is a one-of-a-kind variety with incredible foliage that's sure to turn heads. It stands out from the crowd with its bright yellow-green colored leaves, framed by a deep green margin. Mature trees usually have a beautiful, gnarled trunk, making it an ideal choice for bonsai enthusiasts.

It's an easy-to-care-for, slow-growing tree that becomes even more stunning with age. Perfect for home gardens, patio or courtyard spaces, it's no wonder the Johin Japanese Maple is so popular.
