Acer palmatum dissectum 'Watnong' is a stunning Japanese maple cultivar prized for its finely dissected, lace-like foliage and elegant cascading habit. In spring, it emerges with vibrant green to light chartreuse leaves that maintain their delicate color throughout the growing season. As autumn arrives, it dazzles with shades of gold and orange, sometimes accented with red tones, creating a show-stopping seasonal display. Compact and slow-growing, 'Watnong' is ideal for small gardens, container planting, or as a focal point in landscape designs.
