Hi I recently moved into a new house and in the garden is what I am told (by 2 seperate people) a Japanese Acer. I've attached some pictures (taken on a phone so not that clear) of the tree and wondered if anyone could tell me exactly what type this tree is Thanks Paul
which means green dissectum, right? :) Can't tell which one, but a nice green dissectum form of A. palmatum. Obviously thriving. -E
It is a nice tree You will not get any closer an identification than Acer palmatum dissectum ..... it could be any one of quite a number of possibilities of that type, or even a seedling from one of the cultivars
I've held off from commenting on this tree for a variety of reasons. I can say this however: by the growth habit, the coloring of the leaves, the cuts in the lobes, the number of lobes that this Maple does show in the photos some of the characteristics of a known green dissectum that is pictured in the Vertrees' books. Later on with photos of the early and mid Spring coloration as well as the Fall coloring, then we may be better able to determine if this Maple is consistent with the named form cultivar. Still, this plant may be a seedling of it but even so, this Maple in these photos is reminiscent to being a named form green dissectum that some of you are aware of the name of.. Jim
