Acer palmatum 'Lemon Lime Lace'

This variety maintains a compact, mound-shaped habit, reaching a mature height of approximately 5 feet and a width of 12 feet. Its wider spread makes it an excellent choice for filling space in a garden bed or as a focal point in a landscape.

It is quite versatile and thrives in conditions ranging from full sun to partial shade. Because it is humidity-tolerant, it handles sun exposure better than many other Japanese Maple varieties, though providing some afternoon shade in hotter climates can help keep the foliage looking its best.

This tree prefers moist, well-drained, loamy soil. It is important to ensure the planting site does not stay waterlogged, as good drainage is essential for the health of the root system.

The 'Lemon Lime Lace' is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8. If you live in a zone outside of this range, it may struggle to survive the winter or tolerate the summer heat.

The foliage is the main attraction, emerging as a soft yellow in the spring before maturing to a bright lime green. As autumn approaches, the leaves transition into a vibrant orange, providing a distinct seasonal display.

This item is shipped as a Trade Gallon, which is a 3-quart container. It will arrive as a young, established plant ready for transplanting into your garden or a larger container.
