Cultivar Description & Characteristics
The Tobiosho Japanese Maple is a vigorous, fast-growing upright cultivar known for its exceptional seasonal transformation. It emerges in spring with bright chartreuse to luminous yellow-green leaves and contrasting red petioles, maintains a fresh, medium green canopy through the heat of summer with good resilience, and culminates in one of the most spectacular multi-colored fall displays in the plant world progressing through brilliant shades of gold, vibrant orange, and fiery scarlet all at once. Reaching a mature height and width of 22 to 25 feet with a broad, rounded form, this reliable landscape favorite provides strong structural appeal, attractive rough gray bark with red branches for winter interest, and dependable performance across diverse garden settings.

Growth Habit & Size
Upright · Spreading
Upright framework develops a broad, spreading canopy that can become wider than tall.
What do these growth habit terms mean?
More than one term can apply. Branch direction, crown shape and size describe different characteristics, and the outline can change as a tree matures.
- Upright
- Main stems and branches emphasize upward growth. An upright tree can still develop a broad canopy.
- Spreading
- Branches extend outward to form a broad canopy. The tree does not have to be wider than it is tall.
- Weeping
- Branches or branchlets arch or hang downward. The tree can still have an upright trunk.
- Rounded
- The crown has a rounded outline. This describes the overall shape rather than the direction of each branch.
- Dwarf
- A cultivar with a smaller natural stature than typical forms of its species. Dwarf describes size, not branch direction or a fixed height limit; it does not automatically mean slow growth.
For example: Bloodgood can grow upright while developing a broad, rounded canopy with spreading branches.
