Common Name and Scientific Name:
Common Name: Japanese Laceleaf Maple
Scientific Name: Acer palmatum 'Dissectum Inaba Shidare'

Description:
The Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' is a stunning deciduous tree known for its finely cut, lace-like foliage and elegant weeping form. The leaves are rich crimson to deep burgundy during spring and summer, turning fiery red in the fall. This small, ornamental tree grows to a mature height of 2-3 meters with a spread of 2.5-3.5 meters, creating a striking cascading silhouette.

Growing Requirements:
This variety thrives in partial shade to full sun, though it performs best in partial shade in warmer climates to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperature changes.

Unique Features:
The 'Inaba Shidare' features graceful, cascading branches and uniquely dissected leaves. Its seasonal foliage color transitions make it a prized choice for gardens and landscapes.

Uses and Display Suggestions:
Perfect for feature planting, this Japanese Maple is ideal for Japanese gardens, shaded garden beds, or as a specimen tree in smaller yards. It also thrives in containers, making it an excellent addition to patios or balconies.

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
