Acer palmatum 'Dissectum' – Acer palmatum 'Dissectum'

View prices and availability
Low, broad shrub, with widely overhanging branches if grafted onto a stem. The leaves are palmate and the leaf segments are also dissected nearly to the main veins. The young leaf is light green to yellowish green. The summer leaf is mid-green. In autumn it turns flaming orange to light red. ‘Dissectum’, previously also traded widely as the variety dissectum viride, gives its name to all of the “Dissectum Group”. A common characteristic of this cultivar group is that the leaf segments of the palmatifid leaves are very deeply dissected.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
