Origin
The Acer jap. 'Green' is a Japanese maple originally from East Asia. This type of maple is particularly common in countries like Japan, China and Korea. It is popular for its ornamental value and is often used in gardens and parks.

Characteristics
The Acer jap. 'Green' is a small, slow-growing tree. Bright green leaves appear in the spring, which turn beautiful shades of orange and red in the autumn. The leaves are palmate and dissected, forming an elegant silhouette. The tree also produces small, purple flowers in the spring.

Care
To care for the Acer jap. 'Green', it is important to note that this tree prefers a sheltered location in partial shade. It requires a light, fertile, and well-draining soil. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as this can reduce the autumn colouring. During dry periods, it is preferable to give the tree extra water. Pruning is not necessary, but can be applied to keep the tree in the desired shape.
