Cutleaf Japanese Maple 'Lemon Lime Lace': Dissectum Group Delight

Overview

Acer palmatum 'Lemon Lime Lace' is a cutleaf (dissectum) Japanese maple cultivar with finely divided, lace-like foliage in bright lemon-lime colors.

Key Characteristics

Family: Sapindaceae
Genus: Acer
Species: palmatum
Cultivar: Lemon Lime Lace
Group: Dissectum
Synonym: Acer palmatum var. dissectum

Foliage Color

The leaves are deeply dissected into narrow, thread-like segments. They emerge in spring a brilliant lemon-yellow, maturing to lime green in summer, then turning golden-orange in fall. The effect is a delicate, luminous texture.

Garden Use

This small, weeping tree (6–8 feet) is perfect for a focal point in a shade garden, near water, or in a container. The bright foliage lights up dark corners. Protect from hot afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
