Lemon Lime Lace

Acer palmatum Lemon Lime Lace is a lace leaf maple that has leaves which emerge a bright yellow and slowly fade into lime color by summer. Summer time sun will bronze the lime green giving the maple a nice scarlet dusting. One of the more delicate looking dissectums, Lemon Lime Lace has finely toothed leaves and a feathery look. Fall colors bring lots of yellows and oranges.
