Acer palmatum 'Shaina'
Common Name: Shaina Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a popular compact, upright Japanese maple known for its excellent red color retention and tidy form. New foliage emerges bright crimson-red in spring, quickly deepening to rich burgundy-red that holds well through summer, especially in partial shade.
Leaves are medium-sized with classic palmate lobes, giving the tree a clean, traditional appearance. In fall, ‘Shaina’ turns brilliant scarlet to deep red, delivering strong and reliable autumn color. The growth habit is dense, upright, and narrowly rounded, making it ideal for smaller landscapes.
‘Shaina’ performs best in partial shade and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil. Its compact size and strong color make it a favorite for residential gardens.
