Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Viridis'

Cutleaf Japanese Maple

Plant Type: Tree

A graceful mounding, often low-branched form of Japanese Maple noted for its cascading habit and green lacey foliage.  This lacey dissected foliage gives way to beautiful fall colors of yellow-gold, oranges and reds. Conversely, small red flowers in spring mature to green samaras in the fall. Although quite adaptable, 'Viridis' benefits from partial shade during hot, dry summers. A beautiful and often sought-after small tree.

Mature Height:

10-15 ft

Mature Spread:

15-20 ft

Zone:

5-9
