 DESCRIPTION
Japanese maples are the „créme de la créme“ of every garden. A majestic looking tree needs no pruning at all and we recommend to let is form its own shape.
Dissectum Viridis has deeply cut leaves with 7 or 9 lobes, light green. To maintain its colour we recommend growing it in location with filtered sunlight or semi-shade as the leaves may show signs of sunburn in hot sun, or even change its colour.

The growth form is strongly cascading, and the long, drooping branchlets form a dome-shaped plant in maturity. Only some hundred years old trees can grow up to 4m, generally it has 1-2m. It does not need much maintenance.

Japanese maples prefer acidic to neutral soil, moist but well drained, semi-fertile. Fully hardy to -27°C (USDA zone 5b), older plants to -29°C (USDA zone 5).
