Acer palmatum 'Viridis'

Object Details

Description
A vivid green maple with leaves so finely dissected, they almost seem fern-like, this 6-10 foot tall dwarf tree has a slight weeping habit. In his extensive tree encyclopedia, Michael Dirr states that 'Virdis' is likely a catch-all term for all A. palmatum with dissected green leaves.
