Acer Palmatum Dissectum Inaba-Shidare 1/2 Standard

Acer Palmatum Dissectum Inaba Shidare, also known as the Japanese Maple Inaba-Shidare is a deciduous Japanese Maple tree with lobed leaves and small flowers. The larger leaves produce a tone of deep purple and red in the spring and they keep this colour throughout the growing seasons. The autumn colour is a crimson tone. Inaba Shidare is unique in that it grows in an upright manner, yet still has a cascading appearance. In fact, the word shidare means “cascading”. Inaba Shidare likes a sunny spot so it’s best to find a location that has at least half a day of sunlight. The soil must be moist but not soggy, as overly wet soil can attract fungal disease. Acer Palmatum Dissectum Inaba Shidare looks good in a yard, patio or the border of a pond for a really beautiful effect. The cascading habit of this tree looks particularly eye-catching on a slope and near a rock pool or ornamental pond.
