Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Viridis’ is one of the finest green lace-leaf Japanese maples, admired for its bright foliage, graceful cascading shape, and outstanding autumn display. Its finely dissected leaves and elegant form create a soft, airy texture that brings lightness and movement to gardens.

🌿 Key Features:

  • Foliage: Deeply divided, lace-like leaves emerge a fresh bright green in spring, stay vibrant through summer, then turn spectacular shades of gold, orange and sometimes red in autumn, creating a fiery finale.

  • Habit: A beautifully weeping, mounded shrub typically reaching 1.5–2 metres high with a broader spread of 2.5–3 metres, forming a dome of cascading branches — almost like a green waterfall.

  • Bark: Smooth grey stems add subtle winter structure once the leaves fall.

Its soft green foliage contrasts perfectly with darker plants, rocks or water features. ‘Viridis’ is ideal as a specimen tree, by ponds, in Japanese-style gardens or even in large containers.


🌱 Detailed Care Guide for Acer palmatum ‘Viridis’

📍 Position & Light

  • Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight.

  • Can tolerate some morning sun, which helps develop brighter autumn tones, but protect from hot afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch.

  • Needs a sheltered spot, out of strong winds that can damage delicate leaves.

🌬️ Shelter

  • Essential to plant in a spot protected from cold, drying winds which can tear or brown the fine leaf edges.

💧 Watering

  • Likes soil to be consistently moist but well-drained.

  • Water well during dry periods, particularly in the first few years or when grown in containers.

  • Mulch annually in spring with compost or bark to conserve moisture and keep roots cool.

🪴 Soil

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

  • Avoid heavy clay or alkaline soils. If needed, grow in raised beds or containers with ericaceous compost mixed with grit for drainage.

🍽️ Feeding

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

  • Avoid high-nitrogen feeds which promote soft growth prone to damage.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Needs very little pruning.

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

  • Avoid heavy pruning which can spoil its elegant, cascading form.

🪲 Pests & Problems

  • Generally pest-free and trouble-free.

  • May occasionally see aphids on new shoots.

  • Leaf scorch (brown edges) is typically caused by drought, wind or intense sun, not disease.

🚰 Container Growing

  • Excellent choice for a large pot, perfect for patios or where garden soil is unsuitable.

  • Use ericaceous compost with added grit, ensure the pot drains freely, and raise it on feet.

  • Keep consistently watered, and protect container roots in harsh winters by wrapping or moving to a sheltered spot.
