Acer palmatum dissectum 'Baldsmith'
Common Name: Baldsmith Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Baldsmith’ is an elegant weeping laceleaf Japanese maple admired for its finely dissected green foliage and graceful, cascading form. Spring leaves emerge bright, fresh green, creating a soft, airy canopy that flows naturally as branches arch outward and downward. Through summer, foliage remains clean green, providing a cooling visual effect in the landscape. In fall, ‘Baldsmith’ puts on a vivid show, turning brilliant shades of gold, orange, and fiery red, often with multiple colors present at once. The finely cut leaves intensify the autumn display, making it a standout among green laceleaf cultivars. The habit is low, spreading, and strongly weeping, forming a broad, mound-like silhouette. It performs best in partial shade, especially in warmer climates, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil with protection from harsh wind. Size Width: 10–12 ft Height: 6–8 ft Hardiness USDA Zones: 5–8 Best Uses Specimen tree for cascading form Japanese or Asian-inspired gardens Accent near patios, water features, or slopes Container planting Focal point in mixed borders
