Green Weeping Japanese Maple Tree | Acer palmatum 'Dissectum Viride'
The Highlights
- A fern green acer with a low, spreading habit and leaves so finely dissected as to look almost shredded!
- Bright autumn displays of fiery red, orange and yellow and tiny red flowers in spring, which turn into winged fruits
- Slow growing and will reach just 1.5-2.5m wide and tall, making this an excellent choice for small gardens, courtyards, balconies or patio pots
- Hardy and low maintenance; drought tolerant once established
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.
- Please note that young trees often don't have a weeping shape, particularly when they arrive early in the year after being pruned - but hold tight and that unique form will develop over time

Care Guide
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Acers encounter few problems with pests and diseases. They may be susceptible to aphids, which can be washed off by spraying with soapy water.
Water regularly
Water young trees regularly until roots are well established. Trees grown in pots will need more regular watering throughout their lives.
Full sun to partial shade
Position where the tree will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight every day during summer and spring. This variety can handle partial shade where it receives its light as dappled shade.
Any soil type except heavy clay
Acers are tolerant of most soils and conditions, including poorly drained soil. They prefer moist, fertile soil.
Feed lightly
When planting, replace half the soil from the planting hole with compost. Your Acer will then appreciate an annual light mulch in spring.
