Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' (Laceleaf Japanese Maple 'Inaba Shidare') brings finely cut, laceleaf foliage and a graceful cascading form to small landscapes. You will enjoy rich red to burgundy leaves through the growing season and vivid red fall color. This slow-growing ornamental maple typically reaches 96-120 inches tall with a broad, weeping spread that can reach 120-144 inches over time.

Plant it where you can give it well-drained, moisture-retentive soil and consistent watering during establishment. You will get the best leaf color and texture with morning sun and afternoon shade, though it can handle full sun in cooler climates when watered well. Protect it from drying winds and intense reflected heat to keep the foliage looking its best.

When you plant, keep the root flare slightly above grade and mulch to moderate soil temperature, keeping mulch off the trunk. Prune lightly to remove crossing branches and to emphasize the layered, cascading structure; the best time is late winter to early spring before active growth. Once established, it performs as a standout specimen, accent tree, or focal point near patios and entryways.
