Acer Palmatum 'Lemon Lime Lace' (Lemon Lime Lace Japanese Maple) is a striking lace-leaf variety with finely dissected foliage that emerges in vibrant yellow-green shades during spring. As summer progresses, the leaves retain their fresh lemon-lime colour before transitioning into golden-orange hues in autumn. This delicate, cascading maple is perfect for adding a soft, airy texture to gardens, rockeries, or large containers.
This small, slow-growing tree thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from partial shade in hotter climates to protect its finely cut foliage from excessive sun exposure. Its graceful, weeping habit makes it an excellent feature plant, creating a stunning focal point in any landscape.
