Acer palmatum 'Shin Deshojo'
Common Name: Shin Deshijo Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum ‘Shin Deshojo’ is one of the most celebrated Japanese maples for its intense, long-lasting red spring color. New foliage emerges brilliant scarlet to glowing crimson, holding its vibrant red tones longer than many similar cultivars before gradually transitioning to green with red highlights in summer. Leaves are medium-sized with classic palmate lobes, creating a clean, elegant canopy. In fall, ‘Shin Deshojo’ again displays bright red to crimson tones, offering a reliable second season of color. The habit is upright and rounded, forming a graceful, well-balanced small tree. ‘Shin Deshojo’ performs best in partial shade, especially in warmer climates, and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil. It is highly valued for its exceptional spring display and refined garden presence.
