Origin and History Native to the hills of Japan, Korea, and China, the Acer palmatum has been a symbol of elegance and serenity in Asian gardens for centuries. Our Weeping Green Laceleaf variety, a cultivar of Acer palmatum 'Dissectum', carries on this tradition of horticultural art. Each tree is a living sculpture, cultivated to embody the grace and balance celebrated in traditional and modern landscape design.
Health and Environmental Benefits Beyond its beauty, this Japanese Maple contributes to a healthier and more serene environment.
Wellness: Its presence helps reduce stress and promotes a sense of calm and well-being, making it perfect for creating tranquil retreats in residential gardens, corporate campuses, or hospitality spaces.
Environmental: Like all trees, it improves air quality by producing oxygen and filtering pollutants. Its canopy provides shade, helping to cool surrounding areas and reduce energy consumption.
Care Guidelines for Optimal Health We provide robust, healthy specimens ready for export and planting. To ensure continued vitality, we recommend the following care:
Light: Prefers partial shade, especially protection from harsh, direct afternoon sun which can cause leaf scorch. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.
Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Amend heavy clay soils to improve drainage.
Watering: Requires consistent moisture, particularly during hot and dry periods. Water deeply but avoid letting the roots sit in waterlogged soil.
Pruning: Requires minimal pruning. To maintain its natural weeping form, remove any dead, damaged, or poorly placed branches during the dormant season (late winter or early spring).
Versatile Applications The manageable size and stunning form of this tree make it exceptionally versatile. It is an excellent choice for:
Specimen Planting: A standalone feature in lawns or garden beds.
Container Gardening: Perfect for large pots on patios, balconies, and entryways.
Focal Points: Planted near ponds, streams, or rockeries to create a dramatic effect.
Accent Planting: Used in mixed borders to provide contrasting texture and form.
Commercial Landscaping: Upgrades the aesthetic of hotel grounds, office parks, and luxury residential communities.
Distinct Advantages Our Weeping Green Laceleaf Maple offers more than just seasonal beauty.

It is well-suited for a range of climates, typically thriving in USDA Zones 5-8.
