Notes
'Green Cascade' full moon maple (Acer japonicum 'Green Cascade') is a tree for borders, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows slowly and has an erect habit. The leaves turn color in fall, and bees visit the purplish-red flowers.
Pairs well with Smoketree, Coral Charm peony, and Ornamental onion.
