Acer palmatum 'Diss Viridis' is a specific cultivar of the Japanese maple. This cultivar is known for its striking leaf colour that is very vibrant. In spring and summer they turn into a bright green colour with very subtle red edges and veins. Later, toward the end of the growing season, they turn into striking shades of orange, red and purple. A true colour spectacle!
'Diss Viridis' has an elegant and graceful growth form with branched branches. It usually grows as a shrubby tree, and the branches create a beautiful, layered structure. This cultivar can vary in size, but usually grows to a height of about 2 to 3 meters.
The plant does best in partial shade to light shade. Too much and bright sunlight can burn the leaves, causing you to miss the beautiful shades of colour. It prefers well-drained, moist and slightly acidic soil.
Thanks to its striking leaf colours both in spring and autumn, the Japanese maple 'Diss Viridis' is often used as a decorative ornamental tree in gardens, landscapes and even in small spaces.
