Acer 'Waterfall'
The Acer 'Waterfall' is a stunning weeping Japanese maple celebrated for its exquisite, finely cut, lacy foliage. Its deeply dissected leaves cascade gracefully on arching branches, creating a visual effect reminiscent of a waterfall as the tree matures. In spring and summer, the foliage is bright green, transitioning to a beautiful golden hue with hints of yellow and red in the autumn. This deciduous specimen is ideal for Zen gardens or as a striking ornamental feature in any landscape. It thrives in full to dappled sunlight, preferring some afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. Mulching is recommended in dry areas to maintain cool, moist roots.
