Peacock Maple Dissecum Viride Group

Acer palmatum var. dissectu Dissectum Viride Group

Growth Characteristics: This is a variety of Japanese maple that typically features a broad, hemispherical canopy. Its leaves are finely divided, giving them a delicate appearance. This tree grows relatively slowly and reaches a height of about 2–3 meters when mature. The leaves are light green in summer and turn yellow or red in autumn.

Propagation Method: It is primarily propagated by grafting. Cuttings are also possible, but the success rate may be low. Propagation is generally performed in spring or early summer, using a healthy mother plant.

Cultivation Method: It prefers high-quality, well-drained soil and grows well in sunny locations or in partial shade. In particular, strong direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, so it is recommended to provide partial shade during the summer. Watering should be done thoroughly when the soil is dry, and care must be taken to avoid overwatering. Use in the Garden: Due to its beautiful leaf shape and color variations, it is widely used as an ornamental plant in gardens. It can serve as a focal point in Japanese gardens, pond edges, or rock gardens. Additionally, its small size makes it suitable for growing in pots on verandas or terraces.

Major Pests and Control Methods: Major pests include aphids, mites, and twig blight. Aphids and mites can be removed by periodic washing with water or soapy water. In more severe cases, appropriate insecticides can be used. In the case of twig blight, infected branches should be removed promptly and disinfected to prevent spread. Regular inspection and maintenance can minimize the occurrence of pests and diseases.
