green japanese maple
Searching for the perfect green Japanese maple for your New Zealand garden? Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to ornamental trees, green Japanese maples offer lush foliage, architectural form, and year-round beauty. Unlike their red and purple counterparts, these maples shine with vibrant green leaves in spring and summer, providing tranquil shade and a refreshing contrast to brighter garden colours. In autumn, many varieties develop striking shades of gold, yellow, or soft orange, extending their seasonal interest well into the late months.
Acer platanoides Globosum (Acer Globosum)
Acer platanoides Globosum is a deciduous tree grown for its lush foliage and stunning form.

It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3 m wide. Acer Globosum makes for a fantastic specimen and is well suited to growing around outdoor living areas, adding to a mixed planting, using in an avenue planting, or maintaining in a courtyard garden.
