Green Cutleaf Japanese Maple
Zone 5

'Viridis' Japanese Maple is a dwarf, mounded, small tree with a cascading and weeping habit. Also called a Green Threadleaf maple, the leaves are bright green and finely dissected (ribbon-like), turning yellow, orange and red in fall. Well-drained soil is a must - planting in a raised bed with good drainage (and even slightly sandy soil) is recommended.
This tree is particularly stunning when it cascades over the edge of a garden pond.
