Green Cutleaf Japanese Maple
Any gardener who has grown the cultivar, 'Viridis' will appreciate the vigor of this contorted weeping green laceleaf Japanese maple introduced by Frank III of J.Frank Schmidt & Sons. Where 'Viridis' simpers and whimpers, 'Contorta' moves like a zesty woman that wants to live a little. All the perks of a traditional weeping laceleaf, but this one pays off before you become too feeble to enjoy.
