Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, it thrives in hot sun and humidity, reaching up to 10 feet at maturity. Ideal for small lawns, patios, or entryways, it requires moderate watering and minimal pruning, preferring moist, well-drained, slightly acidic sandy soils with full sun to part shade exposure. ## Description Easily grown in moist, organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Grows well in sandy loams. May be grown in full sun in the northern parts of its growing range, but prefers some part afternoon shade in the southern parts (including St. Louis) of its growing range. New foliage may scorch in full sun locations in hot summers areas, particularly if soils are not kept consistently moist. Mulch helps retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Avoid hot and dry sites. Site in locations protected from strong winds. Pruning is best kept to a minimum, but if needed should be done in late fall to mid winter. Spring or summer pruning often results in significant bleeding. Noteworthy Characteristics Acer palmatum, commonly called Japanese Maple, is a deciduous shrub or small tree that typically grows to 10-25' (infrequently to 40') tall. It is native to Japan, Korea and China. General plant form is rounded to broad-rounded, often with low branching. Each palmate green leaf (2-5" long) has 5 to 7 but less frequently 9 toothed lobes. Small reddish-purple flowers in umbels bloom in spring (April) followed by winged samaras in pairs which ripen in September-October. Fall color includes an often spectacular combination of shades of yellow, red, purple and bronze. ## Features - INABA SHIDARE IS AN "OUTSTANDING" DISSECTUM THAT DIFFERS FROM OTHERS IN ITS LEAF SHAPE AND DEEP COLOR - THE LARGER, MORE INTRICATE LEAVES DEVELOP A DEEP TONE OF PURPLE RED AS THEY GROW IN THE SPRING AND RETAIN THIS BRILLIANT COLOR ALL SEASON - INABA SHIDARE DOES NOT BRONZE OUT IN LATE SEASON AS DO OTHER RED DISSECTUMS.
