DESCRIPTION

Acer Palmatum var. Dissectum Bonsai Maple

Delicate, refined, and beautifully sculptural, the Acer Palmatum var. Dissectum is a highly sought-after Japanese maple admired for its finely cut foliage and graceful bonsai-like form. Featuring soft, feathery leaves with intricate detailing, this ornamental maple brings a calm and sophisticated Japanese-inspired aesthetic into any space.

Its naturally elegant branching structure and airy silhouette create a light, tranquil presence that works beautifully in modern interiors, zen-inspired spaces, balconies, patios, or curated plant shelves. The fine dissected foliage gives the tree a softer and more artistic appearance compared to traditional maple varieties, making it especially prized among bonsai enthusiasts and collectors.

Standing at approximately 35cm tall and presented in a low bonsai grow pot, this specimen already carries a mature bonsai character while still offering excellent potential for further shaping and styling over time.
