   Acer palmatum dissectum 'Filigree'

This cultivar is not widely found in the plant trade even though J .D Vertrees says that it is probably his favorite among the variegated dissectums and smaller weepers. Filigree as the name implies is a feathery lace-leaf maple in the variegated category. One of the smallest of the dissectum group. Filigree  requires shade in the afternoon to prevent the fine green-white lace leaves from burning in the hot sun. Ideal for a small garden or water feature because it is slow growing. This rare and unusual maple is a good selection for either bonsai, a patio container or a focal point in a small garden. Once established hardy to USDA zone 6.

Fall colors blend from yellow to gold.
