{"product_id":"waterfall-japanese-maple","title":"Waterfall Japanese Maple","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBright green, finely cut laceleaf foliage that cascades like a waterfall — the most graceful and elegant of all the weeping Japanese maples.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterfall Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Waterfall') is a green laceleaf maple prized for its extraordinarily graceful, cascading form and its brilliant seasonal color. The finely dissected, bright green leaves emerge in spring with a fresh, luminous quality and hold their color through summer before turning brilliant gold and orange in fall — one of the best fall color displays of any laceleaf maple. The long, arching branches cascade downward in a natural waterfall shape that becomes more dramatic and sculptural with every passing year. It's a four-season specimen that earns its place in the landscape year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat I love about it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterfall is the Japanese maple for people who want elegance over drama. The bright green foliage is fresh and luminous — a beautiful contrast to the many red and purple laceleaf varieties — and the cascading form is genuinely breathtaking. The fall color is spectacular: brilliant gold and orange that glows in the autumn light. In winter the bare, arching branch structure is sculptural and beautiful on its own. Plant it near a water feature, a stone wall, or a patio where its graceful form can be appreciated up close. It's the kind of tree that makes a garden feel designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Care Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade — afternoon shade appreciated in hot climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply until established; moderate water needs once mature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌡️ \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy to -20°F (Zone 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🪴 \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — low-maintenance once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐾 \u003cstrong\u003ePet Safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-toxic to cats and dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal needed; light shaping in late winter if desired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 ft tall, 10–12 ft wide (wider than tall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green laceleaf; brilliant gold and orange fall color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, cascading waterfall shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBloom bold.
