Add Striking Color With the Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple
When you want a tree that steals the spotlight without taking over the whole yard, Inaba Shidare delivers. This compact, cascading Japanese Maple forms a graceful dome of finely cut, lacy leaves that drape like a living fountain. Its color show runs all season long—starting with deep reddish-purple (nearly black in spring light), shifting into rich red through summer, and finishing with a fiery crimson finale in fall.
It’s a strong grower compared to many maples in its class, reaching its mature size in about 10–15 years—fast enough to make an impact, but still easy to manage. Whether planted as a focal point or tucked into a smaller space, it brings structure, color, and movement to the garden.
Why You'll Love the Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple

- Compact, weeping form: Dome-shaped habit with elegant, arching branches
- Faster establishment: Vigorous growth helps it fill in sooner than many Japanese maples
- Cold hardy: Handles temperatures down to -20°F
- Shade tolerant: Thrives in partial shade and adapts to typical garden conditions

Great Uses
