Waterfall Japanese Maple

Waterfall Japanese Maple is a graceful, weeping deciduous tree prized for its finely cut, lace-like green foliage that cascades elegantly like a waterfall. In spring and summer, its soft green leaves form a dense, mounding canopy. In fall, the foliage transforms into a brilliant display of gold, orange, and crimson tones.

Perfect as a focal point in Asian-inspired gardens, woodland bordes, or near water features, this compact maple offers four-season beauty with a striking silhouette, colorful fall foliage, and attractive winter structure. It's easy to maintain and thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil.
