Welcome to the Plant Dude blog. While it is currently feeling more like winter in the mountains of western North Carolina than late fall, I thought it would be fun to show off a few of my favorite deciduous trees with great fall color.
The 'viridis' form of Acer palmatum 'dissectum' is nice enough during the majority of the growing season. Nice soft texture, and cascading branches of light green leaves make this an attractive feature plant for rock gardens or small landscape areas. When fall arrives, however, this plant blazes with an orange tinged yellow hue that lights up the area where it grows.
The plant above is one of the more attractive specimen of 'viridis' that we had this year at B.B. Barns. We should get some nice specimen size plants like the one above in the spring, along with a number of smaller size plants as well.
