Acer Palmatum ‘Palmatifidum’, commonly known as Palmatifidum Japanese Maple, is a rare and highly ornamental variety with deeply lobed, feathery leaves that create a delicate, cascading effect. The foliage emerges bright green in spring, turns a lush deep green in summer, and transforms into a spectacular mix of gold, orange, and crimson in autumn. Its elegant, weeping growth habit makes it a striking focal point in gardens, courtyards, or containers.
Thriving in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, this deciduous maple prefers a sheltered position with dappled sunlight. Its fine-textured foliage and graceful form add a touch of sophistication to any landscape.
