Lemon Lime Lace Dwarf Weeping Japanese Maple is a radiant laceleaf Japanese maple that brings a refreshing splash of color to the landscape. In early spring, finely dissected leaves unfurl in a bright yellow-green, glowing like citrus against the garden backdrop. As summer progresses, the foliage matures to a lime-chartreuse to medium green, while fresh flushes of golden new growth continue to dance across its cascading branches. This constant interplay of lemon and lime tones is how this tree earned its flavorful name.
With its elegant weeping habit, Lemon Lime Lace Dwarf Weeping Japanese Maple forms a low, spreading canopy that feels airy and graceful. Expected to reach an average height and width of 4-6 feet in 10 years, it's perfectly sized for smaller gardens and around patios and outdoor living spaces. Its feathery foliage and layered, horizontal branching create a soft textural contrast when paired with boulders, conifers, or darker-leaved plants. Unlike many other A. dissectum varieties, this selection shows a sturdy yet refined growth pattern that lends structure while still feeling delicate.
When autumn arrives, Lemon Lime Lace Dwarf Weeping Japanese Maple puts on its most dramatic show. The lime-green canopy transforms into a fiery palette of oranges, yellows, and even hints of red, glowing like a sunset over the garden. Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, this Japanese maple thrives when protected from harsh afternoon sun and late frosts. Both rare and beautiful, this collectible specimen offers a dynamic, citrus-inspired color story that evolves with every season.

LEMON LIME LACE DWARF WEEPING JAPANESE MAPLE Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
With proper care, 'Lemon Lime Lace' will reward you with a cascade of citrus-inspired colors, graceful texture, and year-round elegance in the garden.
- Recommended Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is best. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect shallow roots.
- Sun Exposure: Thrives in morning sun with afternoon shade. Protect from intense heat and direct afternoon sun, which may scorch leaves. Performs best in dappled light in warm, humid regions.
- Irrigation Needs: Requires consistent, moderate watering, especially in the first few years. Keep soil evenly moist, never fully dry or waterlogged. Increase frequency in hot summers.
- Feeding & Nutrients: Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release formula. Avoid excess nitrogen, which can reduce color intensity. Top-dress with compost or mulch to provide natural nutrients.
- Pruning & Maintenance: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain form. Remove dead or crossing branches, but avoid heavy cuts. Protect young trees from late frost damage.
