Viridis Japanese Maple Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Viridis' #35
Vivid green, finely cut leaves change to beautiful shades of gold and crimson in the fall. Small tree with graceful weeping habit and excellent branching architecture. An excellent accent under larger trees, near a water garden or in container. Thrives in dappled sun. Deciduous.
Provide enriched, well-drained soil. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering may be reduced once established. Apply a slow-release fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
