Acer palmatum dissectum 'Green Mist'

Growing Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Green Mist’ Successfully in NZ

Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Green Mist’ is a finely textured, weeping Japanese Maple prized for its delicate, lacy green foliage that turns golden-orange in autumn. In New Zealand, it grows best in a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering during dry periods helps maintain healthy growth. ‘Green Mist’ is perfect for feature planting in gardens, containers, or near water features.

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Green Mist' Care Tips

To keep Acer ‘Green Mist’ thriving, plant it in a sheltered location in full sun or light shade. Use well-draining, humus-rich soil and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in summer, but avoid waterlogging. Prune lightly in winter to maintain shape, removing any dead or crossing branches. Fertilise in early spring with a slow-release fertiliser for trees and shrubs.

Plant Size and Spacing

Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Green Mist’ typically grows to around 1.5–2 metres tall and 2–3 metres wide, forming a graceful, dome-shaped mound. When planting, allow at least 2–3 metres of space around the tree to accommodate its natural spread and ensure good air circulation. This spacing also enhances its visual appeal as a feature specimen in gardens or landscaped areas.
