Description
A small, and graceful maple, Acer palmatum var dissectum 'Viridis' has a mound-like habit and finely dissected, soft-green leaves which colour brilliantly to yellow / gold / red in the autumn before falling.
Low growing with weeping branches, this maple is most effective when planted as part of a low border or allowed to grow on rockeries, or over low walls. A superb Acer for growing in a large tub or container.
