What Type Of Acer Tree Is This

Question

We have had this beautiful Acer tree in our garden since we bought the property about five years ago. Does anybody know what type of tree it is and also the best way to keep it in its beautiful shape. We normally get a Gardner in and he does a great job just wondered if you had any tips and if you think it is nice and healthy Many thanks

Answer 1

It looks beautiful! I wouldn't think you would need to shape the canopy. There are several cultivars of acer palmatum var. dissectum that resemble this tree, for example, 'Waterfall,' or 'Viridis.' I would visit a tree nursery and get their opinion.
