Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple is one of the best lace-leaf maples for hotter climates. It will grow wider than it is tall; its arching form creates a swirling sculpture that adds interest even in winter, after the leaves have fallen. The leaves start out in spring as a dark purple, sometimes described as almost black, then become more red to bronze in summer, before turning scarlet red in the fall. It is one of the hardier cultivars of Japanese maples.
Growth Habit: Weeping, arching, mounding, 4-6ft. tall, 6-8ft. wide over 10 years.
Native Origin: Japan
Leaf Type: Laceleaf
Hardiness Zone: 5-9
Environmental Needs: Part Sun, full afternoon sun limited to 3-5 hours.
Avoid fertilizing unless planted in a container; use a slow-release fertilizer instead. Water regularly, but avoid standing water.
Growth rate: Slow
Maintenance: Check out our Japanese Maple Guide for best practices.
