Inaba Shidare Laceleaf Japanese Maple 1 Live Tree, 1 Gallon Pot – Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Inaba Shidare’

Inaba Shidare Laceleaf Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Inaba Shidare’) is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its finely dissected foliage, rich purple-red leaf color, and elegant cascading growth habit. Its deeply cut, lace-like leaves create a delicate, feathery appearance, while the arching branches form a graceful, weeping silhouette. The foliage typically emerges deep red to purple-red in spring, retains attractive burgundy tones during the growing season, and develops brilliant red to crimson coloration in autumn.

This Japanese maple is valued as a specimen tree for Japanese-inspired gardens, woodland landscapes, shaded patios, courtyard gardens, and ornamental containers. Its layered branching and finely textured foliage create a distinctive architectural accent. Inaba Shidare generally performs best in partial shade or morning sun with protection from intense afternoon sunlight in warmer climates. It prefers fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. As a deciduous tree, it naturally loses its leaves in autumn and remains dormant during winter.
