Acer palmatumdissectum 'Virdis' Green Cutleaf Japanese Maple



Acer palmatumdissectum 'Virdis'
Green Cutleaf Japanese Maple

Zone 5
Grow in full sun to partial shade.
Grows 6 to 10 ft tall and wide.

'Viridis' Japanese Maple is a dwarf, mounded, small tree with a cascading and weeping habit. Also called a Green Threadleaf maple, the leaves are bright green and finely dissected (ribbon-like), turning yellow, orange and red in fall. Well-drained soil is a must - planting in a raised bed with good drainage (and even slightly sandy soil) is recommended. 

This tree is particularly stunning when it cascades over the edge of a garden pond.
