Description

An impressive and unusually large growing red laceleaf Japanese Maple, Inabe Shidare is a fine specimen that can grow upwards of 12 feet tall and wide over time. Inaba Shidare is noted for its more upright form with cascading branches covered in lacy leaves that emerge a magnificent deep purplish red in spring, maturing to a soft purple to red in summer, and finally to a stunning bright red in fall. The 7-lobed, 6′ long leaves are deeply cut and dissected providing a beautiful soft texture in the landscape. Up close, you’ll see attractive, small reddish flowers in spring. A truly wonderful specimen make sure to leave this one ample room to grow!

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, Japanese Maples are often used to accentuate entryways by planting one on both sides of an entrance, or spaced widely in small clusters of three. Inaba Shidare is an ideal selection for landscape beds or in a large container.

Suggested Spacing: 18 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
