Overview: A Japanese maple grown for its dense, crinkled deep-green foliage that turns orange in fall.

Mature size: Approximately 10–15 ft. tall and 10–12 ft. wide, though mature size varies with cultivar.

Sun exposure: Partial shade to full sun; afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch in hot summers

Flowering season: Small red-purple flowers in mid-spring, not showy from a distance

Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–8

Water needs: Average; benefits from consistent moisture and good drainage

Special features: Unusually dense, congested branching gives this cultivar a distinctive tufted, sculptural look year-round. Slow to moderate growth, developing a layered, rounded canopy over time; red winged samaras add fall interest; works well as a specimen, understory, or container tree; deer and rabbit resistant

Wildlife value: Minor nectar source for early-season pollinators

Botanical name: Acer palmatum 'Shishigashira'
