Japanese Maple 'Emerald Lace': Green Lace Waterfall

'Emerald Lace' (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Emerald Lace') cascades like a green waterfall. This Cutleaf Japanese Maple offers bright, fresh green, finely dissected foliage that holds its color well through summer, turning golden-yellow with orange touches in fall.

Green Cascade

The leaves are deeply cut into 7-9 slender lobes, creating a fine, lacy texture. The habit is strongly weeping, forming a broad, flowing mound 6-8 feet tall and wide over time. Spring foliage emerges lime-green. Summer is a clean, rich green. Fall brings a brilliant mix of gold, orange, and red.
