Waterfall Japanese Maple Tree Planted - June 2023
In May, I planted my third Japanese Maple tree - a small, container-grown Emperor 1 Acer palmatum that is upright and carries red foliage. In that post, I mentioned that while it was the third Japanese Maple that I planted, I had lost one - a Tamukeyama weeping tree- so, I was really on number two. Today, I'm planting another Japanese Maple that checks some of the boxes: weeping and lace-leaf. But, it is also green. My first green Japanese Maple. Back in December, I mused about how I should add a 'few Japanese Maples' to the garden this year . Going from one to three is 'a few', I suppose. But, I'll let the cat out of the bag - I'm not done this year. (eek!). That post from 2022 referenced this original overview (get to know) post showing a few Japanese Maples that work for Zone 5b . On that list was a tree called a Virdis Japanese Maple. Well... according to Mr. Maple , the Virdis is also known as the Waterfall Japanese Maple. From Mr. Maple
