Acer palmatum dissectum Flavescens

Acer palmatum dissectum Flavescens Details

Acer palmatum dissectum Flavescens is a popular variety of Japanese Maple due to its rich display of delicate and colourful foliage. Leaves on this deciduous tree emerge a fresh green-yellow colour in spring, age to become darker green, then develop bright yellow and orange tones in autumn before falling. The result is a spectacular show from spring through autumn on the pendulous branches. This small tree typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It tolerates frost, cool climates, short periods of dry, and grows well on a range of soil types, barring the extremes of wet and dry. Acer palmatum dissectum Flavescens is commonly grown as a small specimen, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas, or used anywhere the spectacular colour can be enjoyed.
