Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Green Laceleaf Japanese Maples are often used where fine texture is needed in a landscape. The branches tend to flow and arch over themselves like a water fountain with its semi-weeping habit. 'Dissectum' has more gently arching pendulous branches than most other weeping varieties. In hot climates, the leaves are prone to scorch in full sun so some afternoon shade may be needed to keep this plant looking its best all year.

In the fall the leaves turn an attractive bright yellow, gold, or orange color. This is generally considered to be one of the most popular green leaf Japanese Maple varieties.



Beautiful lacy foliage
