Acer palmatum ‘Midori‑no‑teiboku’ is a distinctive Japanese maple known for its low, wide, spreading habit, lush green foliage, and laceleaf texture. Its name translates to “green upright tree,” though in practice it behaves more like a broad, cascading mound than a vertical form. 3–4 ft tall and 7–9 ft wide at maturity, forming a broad, architectural dome.
