The Viridis Japanese Maple is a graceful, deciduous tree known for its finely dissected, lace-like foliage that emerges a bright green in spring, remaining vibrant throughout summer before transforming to a stunning golden-yellow and fiery orange in autumn. With its weeping, cascading branches, the Viridis adds a soft, elegant texture to gardens, making it a beautiful focal point in shaded landscapes or alongside water features.
This low-maintenance maple thrives in partial shade, preferring moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Its compact form, reaching a mature height of 2-3 meters, is ideal for smaller gardens and container planting. Minimal pruning is required to maintain its natural, arching shape, adding to its appeal for gardeners seeking a blend of delicate beauty and seasonal colour.
