Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Viridis’ is one of the most popular green lace-leaf Japanese maples, renowned for its elegant cascading shape and finely cut, bright green foliage that turns spectacular shades in autumn. Its soft texture and graceful habit make it a favourite for adding movement and lightness to garden designs.

🌿 Key Features:

  • Foliage: Deeply dissected, lace-like leaves emerge a fresh vivid green in spring, stay bright green through summer, then turn stunning shades of gold, orange, and occasionally scarlet in autumn. The fine leaf texture creates a soft, almost feathery appearance.

  • Habit: A classic weeping, mounded form, typically growing to 1.5–2 metres high with a broader spread of 2.5–3 metres, forming a beautiful dome that looks almost like a green waterfall.

  • Bark: Smooth grey branches arch outward and downward, giving it winter structure even after leaf fall.

Its bright green foliage makes ‘Viridis’ perfect for planting next to dark evergreens, water features or stones, where its colour and delicate form can really shine. It’s also widely used in Japanese-style gardens.


🌱 Detailed Care Guide for Acer palmatum ‘Viridis’

📍 Position & Light

  • Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight.

  • Can tolerate some morning sun, which helps enrich autumn colour, but too much hot afternoon sun may scorch the delicate leaves.

  • Always plant in a sheltered spot, away from strong winds.

🌬️ Shelter

  • Essential to protect from cold or drying winds, which can shred the finely cut leaves and cause browning at the edges.

💧 Watering

  • Likes consistently moist but well-drained soil.

  • Needs regular watering in dry periods, especially in the first few years or if planted in a container.

  • A mulch of compost or bark in spring helps maintain moisture and keeps roots cool.

🪴 Soil

  • Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, humus-rich soil.

  • Avoid heavy clay or alkaline ground. If needed, plant in a raised bed or large pot with ericaceous compost mixed with grit for drainage.

🍽️ Feeding

  • Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or specialist acer feed.

  • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, which produce soft growth prone to wind or frost damage.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Requires minimal pruning.

  • Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when dormant.

  • Avoid heavy pruning, which can spoil its natural cascading shape.

🪲 Pests & Problems

  • Generally pest-free and trouble-free.

  • May occasionally suffer aphids on new shoots.

  • Leaf scorch (brown tips or edges) is typically caused by drought, wind exposure or excessive sun.

🚰 Container Growing

  • ‘Viridis’ grows very well in large containers, making it suitable for patios and courtyards.

  • Use ericaceous compost mixed with grit, ensure the pot has good drainage, and raise it on feet to avoid waterlogging.

  • In harsh winters, protect container roots by wrapping the pot or moving it to a sheltered spot.
