Sun Requirements: Prefers partial shade to full sun. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch, especially in hotter climates.

Planting: Best planted in early spring or fall. Choose a location with well-drained, slightly acidic soil, rich in organic matter.

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots.

Maintenance: Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches or to maintain a desired shape. Pruning should be done in late fall or early winter when the tree is dormant.

Growth Profile:

• Height: Typically reaches 1.5-2 meters.
• Spread: Similar to its height, around 1.5-2 meters.

Characteristics: 'Viridis' features bright green, finely cut leaves that turn golden-yellow to orange in fall. Its weeping form and graceful branches make it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or as a focal point in a landscape.
