Japanese Maple - Waterfall
The Japanese Maple Waterfall, Acer pd. 'Waterfall', is unlike the ones that most people are familiar with -- this one is not red in color! It is green and it is beautiful!
This Japanese maple ‘Waterfall’ is a lovely and graceful weeping laceleaf that displays bright green summer foliage that holds well throughout the summer months. It then transforms into brilliant golden tones in the fall, with hints of crimson.
The weeping branch structure gives this plant the waterfall appearance as the foliage cascades down. It is perfect to use as a specimen plant in the landscape or as a large potted patio tree. With an elegant, horizontal branching habit, this maple plant is interesting even during winter!
A faster growing green laceleaf variety, ‘Waterfall’ Japanese maple adapts to most conditions; afternoon shade is required in southern states. This Japanese maple is an easy care plant, and it does best if fed once a year with a slow release fertilizer.
You will be mesmerized by the sight of this magnificent little tree as it constantly undergoes changes throughout the year!
