Japanese Green Cascade Maple Bonsai - Acer Palmatum - 5 Seeds Beetroot The type species is HelichrysumThis selection is unique for its weeping habit, similar to that of the A. palmatum dissectums. The main stem should be staked to the desired height when young. The pendulous branches will cascade down, creating a graceful mound. Leaves are cut to the centre and finely divided, giving a lacy appearance. Autumn tones are brilliant yellow, orange, and crimson. Green Cascade makes a beautiful bonsai specimen.
