Top Tip
Acer Palmatum 'Dissectum Viridis'
Green Japanese Maple
Acer trees are a statement plant, with delicate leaves and floating canopies they are a wonderful thing to behold and can bring peace and balance to a garden.
Acer Palmatum 'Dissectum Viridis' is a beautiful tree which changes colour with the seasons. The leaves are so dissected as to appear almost shredded. Although green through the spring and summer they show good autumn colour. Red flowers are a discrete attraction in spring. These develop into winged fruit, typical of the genus.
They are naturally shade lovers so can really help brighten a shaded patio or courtyard. Be careful when placing in full sun as it can scorch the leaves.
Grow in a moist but well-drained soil. Water in summer if necessary. Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated. Leaf scorch can be caused by lack of soil moisture, drying winds or late spring frost.
Please note these trees are deciduous, so they lose their leaves in autumn/winter and regrow in spring.
