Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba shidare'

Common Name: 'Inaba Shidare' Maple

Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Inaba shidare’ is a classic and highly respected weeping laceleaf Japanese maple, valued for its deeply dissected foliage, strong cascading habit, and excellent red color retention. Spring foliage emerges deep crimson to burgundy, holding its rich color well through summer, even better than many older red dissectum cultivars. The finely cut, threadlike leaves create a soft, flowing texture as branches arch outward and downward, forming a broad, graceful mound. In fall, ‘Inaba shidare’ delivers a brilliant scarlet to fiery red display, often among the most intense of all laceleaf maples. The habit is low, spreading, and gracefully cascading, making it a standout focal point in the landscape. It performs best in partial shade, with protection from hot afternoon sun and strong winds, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil.
