Maple Tree Description

This green dissectum or cultivar was named for its beautiful cascading habit. It is similar to the Viridis cultivar, but it has slightly larger and longer leaves, giving this Japanese maple tree a flowing appearance. Waterfall will reach about 10 feet tall and wide in 10 years if the main branch is led up a stake. It grows well in the full sun or the shade, keeping its bright green color throughout the spring and summer until fall when it changes to a golden color permeated with crimson.
