Green Cut Leaf Weeping Standard - Acer palmatum
dissectum
Acer palmatum dissectum is a fine cut leaved
cultivar which has green foliage for Spring and Summer, turning a
breath taking orange and scarlet in the autumn before the leaves drop.
They make perfect patio trees beacuse of their slow growth rate, and
are ideal in Japanese style gardens, planted in shady areas to give
foliage and form. These fabulous top grafted specimens will never get
any higher, and will weep all the way to the ground. The photo to the
left shows some of the actual specimens on offer. These are 4ft high
with 1-2ft diameter spread of branches.
