Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' is an exquisite Japanese Maple cultivar prized for its cascading, finely-dissected leaves that emerge with a deep garnet-red hue and maintain rich color throughout the growing season. In autumn, this deciduous tree transforms into a radiant display of fiery reds and oranges. Its elegant, weeping habit makes it a striking focal point for landscapes, water gardens, or containers. With a natural artistic form, 'Inaba Shidare' is ideal for small spaces or adding a sculptural element to gardens.
