The leaves are dark green and have a delicate appearance they also move easily if there’s any wind, making the whole tree appear to shimmer – another resemblance to a waterfall. Each leaf has between seven and eleven slim, lacy lobes which are deeply cut right to the base of the leaf. Its most notable visual feature is the foliage, with the palmate leaves seeming to pour down the outside of the tree in a dense flood. Many weeping trees tend to grow into a tall, slender form but Waterfall usually develops more of a mounded shape. The result is a cascade of vivid green leaves, creating the waterfall effect that gives the variety its name. The branches are also very graceful, with their outer sections curving down in the classic “weeping” shape. It’s also a fairly wide tree, and when fully grown will be anywhere from eight to twelve feet across its branches. It will grow to about six feet tall over its first ten years, but when fully mature it can reach past ten feet (although it’s rare for it to exceed twelve). Waterfall is a typical, but fairly small, Japanese Maple. If you’re a fan of weeping tree forms the “Waterfall” cultivar could be just what you’re looking for. The Japanese Maples – especially Acer palmatum – are among the most popular options. Of course large trees need a lot of space and not everyone can fit them in, but there are many smaller varieties that serve this purpose. They also serve as natural magnets for birds, animals and beneficial insects, so they enhance your garden’s natural ecosystem as well as its appearance. These larger plants have a multitude of uses they can serve as boundary markers, break up open spaces, provide shelter for smaller plants – even people – and serve as focal points to draw attention to themselves and their surroundings. There’s an almost infinite number of ways to lay out a garden, but almost all of them make some use of shrubs and trees. ![]() We've gotta protect good ole' Mother Nature, after all.
