Acer palmatum dissectum 'Filigree'

Weeping Green Filigree Variegated Laceleaf Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Filigree' is a small pendulous dissectum Japanese maple that has outstanding spring color and an interesting leaf structure. The lobes are more finely dissected than most lace leafs. ‘Filigree’ or ‘Green Filigree’ as it is sometimes called, is a highly sought after tree that is not always readily available in the nursery trade.

This Japanese maple cultivar is sure to awe you in the spring with its two-toned variegation. The border to the leaf is a bright yellow to lime green with a bright vein of lush green which give the appearance of variegation of white flecking. Eventually, as the summer begins the entire leaf is taken over by the lush green coloration making a truly beautiful, green dissectum. The shape of Filigree is cascading and similar to that of an open umbrella. In the autumn ‘Filigree’ turns an amazing array of deep yellow and gold. The growth pattern of this weeping Japanese maple is slightly wider than it is tall and 4-6 ft over time. 

The small size lends ‘Filigree’ well to container growing for porches or patios. The early spring colors perform best when placed in filtered afternoon light. ‘Filigree’ is a very fancy Japanese maple cultivar that is sure to be one of your favorite additions the garden.
