Acer palmatum Dissectum 'Green Hornet'
Common Name: Green Laceleaf Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Green Hornet’ is a graceful weeping laceleaf Japanese maple prized for its fine, deeply dissected green foliage and elegant cascading habit. Spring foliage emerges bright, fresh green, forming a soft, flowing canopy as branches arch outward and downward. Through summer, leaves remain clean green, creating a cooling, tranquil effect in the landscape. In fall, ‘Green Hornet’ delivers a vivid display of golden yellow, orange, and fiery red, often showing multiple colors at once. The finely cut foliage intensifies the autumn color and highlights the tree’s weeping form. The habit is low, spreading, and strongly cascading, forming a broad mound over time. It performs best in partial shade, especially in warmer climates, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil with protection from strong winds.
