(Dissected Japanese Maple)

Fine, lacy foliage, that’s the first thing that should come to mind when thinking about dissected Japanese maple.

Asian in origin, this deciduous tree tends to have a smaller stature than other Japanese maples and sports arching branches that give it a broad, mounded appearance. There is a lot of variation in leaf color and sometimes shape, depending on the cultivar, but overall leaves may be yellow-green or green to purple-red turning shades of purple, red, orange and yellow in the fall.

Typically forming a multi-trunked small tree or large shrub with beautiful green-barked branches, it bears large light- to medium-green leaves with three relatively shallow lobes. The leaves turn yellow in fall. Modestly attractive chains of small yellow flowers droop from the branches in spring, followed by two-winged fruits that mature...
