Golden Falls Japanese Maple is an exceptional new weeping cultivar known for its striking golden yellow leaves. Discovered as a natural seedling from 'Ryusei', it shares its parent’s pronounced weeping form, growing to the height where it is supported before gracefully cascading downward. When left unstaked, 'Golden Falls' spreads along the ground, offering a distinctive ground cover effect. It thrives best with morning sunlight while shielding from intense afternoon rays. In autumn, its foliage transitions to shades ranging from orange to red.
