Viridis Japanese Maple 2-3ft
Acer palmatum 'Viridis'
Viridis Japanese Maple combines refined laceleaf architecture with exceptional seasonal color transformation, shifting from vibrant spring green to brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. This slow-growing cultivar develops dense, tightly-branched structure requiring minimal pruning intervention, making it ideal for gardeners preferring low-maintenance specimens. Its compact proportions and hardy constitution enable successful container cultivation on balconies and patios, surviving most winter conditions without protection. The combination of refined foliage texture, predictable growth habit, and dramatic fall coloration makes it an outstanding choice for those seeking year-round ornamental interest with minimal ongoing care requirements.
Viridis Japanese Maple specimens are cultivated in 2 to 3-gallon containers, providing substantially more mature plants than typical one-gallon nursery stock. Given the naturally slow growth habit characteristic of Japanese maples, selecting larger, more established specimens at installation accelerates landscape maturation and visual impact. These container-grown plants offer superior root development and structural establishment compared to smaller alternatives. Custom specimen photography is available upon request, enabling informed selection of individual plants that meet specific aesthetic preferences and landscape requirements prior to purchase.
