The Moss Gold Weeping Cutleaf Japanese Maple features finely dissected leaves that emerge in a striking mossy-gold hue during spring, transitioning to greener shades through summer before showcasing vibrant oranges and reds in autumn. Its vivid red stems provide a strong contrast against the golden foliage. This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade, ideally shielded from intense afternoon sun and harsh coastal winds. Plant it in fertile, moist, well-drained soil, preferably in a sheltered location to ensure optimal growth and colouration.
