Green Cascade Full Moon Maple - Acer japonicum ‘Green Cascade’
Grown without support, Acer japonicum ‘Green Cascade’ behaves almost like a large groundcover, mounding low and flowing outward with its finely dissected round leaves layered like water over stone. Trained up a stake or bought worked onto a standard it becomes a small weeping tree instead, so the same plant can play two quite different roles depending on how it is grown. Either way the autumn display, running from orange through scarlet to deep crimson, is the strongest of any full moon maple selection.
Why Green Cascade Full Moon Maple
Lacy Leaf Texture: The rounded full moon leaf cut into narrow lobes reads as fine and intricate at close range.
Two Possible Forms: Left low it mounds and spills; staked and trained it lifts into a weeping standard.
Autumn Sequence: Colour moves through the canopy over several weeks rather than turning all at once.
Compact Root Zone: Fibrous roots stay close to the surface and do not lift paving or threaten services.
Container Suitability: The slow rate and modest size make it one of the better maples for permanent pot culture.
Ideal Applications
Raised Planter Spill: Positioned at the edge of a raised bed it pours over the retaining face.
Japanese Style Garden: Sits naturally with gravel, stone lanterns, moss and clipped evergreen forms.
Shade Bed Under High Canopy: Thrives in the filtered light beneath established deciduous trees.
Entry Pot Specimen: A single plant in a wide glazed container beside a doorway marks each change of season.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 2.5m when planted in a group
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Winter, while fully dormant
Soil & Drainage: Cool, moisture retentive, humus rich and slightly acidic with free drainage; lime, dry sand and waterlogged clay are all fatal in the long run
Establishment Care: Mulch heavily to 75mm to keep the shallow roots cool and water deeply twice weekly through the first two summers, as a hot dry root zone shows up immediately as crisp brown leaf margins. Choose a position sheltered from hot afternoon sun and westerly wind before anything else, and keep pruning to mid winter and to the removal of crossing or dead wood only.
