£70.00
Acer palmatum Dissectum is a small, mound forming Japanese Maple with highly ornate, deeply dissected foliage. The feathery foliage is a strong lime green, turning striking shades of golden yellow and orange in the Autumn. For the best Autumn colour, plant Dissectum in acid soil, or mix in some ericaceous compost. Lime soil will still be tolerated and a well-draining soil is preferred.
