Acer palmatum 'Green Star'

Zones: 5-9

'Green Star' is a remarkable and visually stunning Japanese maple introduced by the late Dick Wolff of Red Maple Nursery in Pennsylvania. This cultivar captivates from the moment it leafs out, with fluorescent green leaves that are uniquely cupped downward before unfolding in a striking display.

Seasonal Beauty:

  • Spring and Summer: The bright green foliage of 'Green Star' imparts a vibrant, summery feel to the landscape, maintaining its allure throughout the growing season.
  • Autumn: As fall arrives, 'Green Star' transforms, illuminating the garden with its brilliant display of golden yellows accented by bold shades of orange, reminiscent of stars lighting up the night sky.

Growth: 'Green Star' Japanese maple is a slow grower, reaching a height of about 15 feet in approximately 20 years, making it an excellent choice for adding both structure and beauty to your landscape over time.
