Cutleaf Japanese Maple 'Green Mist' (Dissectum Group)

The Cutleaf Japanese Maple 'Green Mist' (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Green Mist') belongs to the Dissectum group, characterized by deeply lobed, lace-like foliage. This cultivar forms a graceful, mound-shaped shrub with a delicate, airy texture.

Its finely dissected leaves emerge light green in spring, maintaining a fresh green hue throughout summer, often turning golden-yellow to orange in fall. The intricate leaf structure creates a "misty" appearance, hence the name. It is an excellent choice for shaded woodland gardens, near water features, or as a specimen in a large pot.

Like other dissectums, 'Green Mist' prefers protection from hot afternoon sun and drying winds. Regular watering and mulching help maintain its lush appearance.
