Acer shirasawanum ‘Green Snowflake’ Specimen 1382

Description

This unique, weeping Full Moon maple has tiny, lacy, light green leaves shaped like nearly circular snowflakes. Leaves develop orange margins in full sun and turn a blend of yellow and orange in fall. Thought to be a cross between palmatum and shirasawanum maples, the low, wide tree has characteristics of both. Its red flowers and upright chartreuse-pink seeds point to shirasawanum parentage; the dissected foliage looks like a laceleaf palmatum parent. Dissectum.
