Acer palmatum “Going Green”

Position: partial shade
Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained neutral to acid soil
Rate of growth: slow to average
Hardiness: fully hardy

This is a great plant for creating year-round interest. The soft lime green foliage turns fresh green for summer. In autumn the leaves then turn vibrant shades of orange and red before they are shed. In winter months the silhouette of the bright green bare stems really stands out.
