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. They do not bronze out in late season as do many other red dissectums. “inaba shidare” does well in hot sun and humidity, but likes some afternoon shade.

During the hot summer months the leaves can dry out if it is not watered adequately. The fall color is outstanding as it turns from purple red to a crimson tone. For a dissectum, “inaba shidare” is unique in that it is an upright grower, yet it has a beautiful cascading form. The word shidare means “cascading”.

This tree is vigorous and sturdy. The branches are stronger than most all other dissectums. “inaba shidare” is a great cultivar for bonsai. “inaba shidare” is becoming a very sought after tree in the united states and has been propagated on the islands of japan since the mid-1800s.

Awards: award of garden merit from the royal horticultural society. Seeds are the result of sexual reproduction; since the pollinating tree is not known, and since japanese maple seedlings show great variability, the seedlings will not all look like the parent plant. Just as in humans where children take on characteristics of their parents but are a unique new combination of traits. This aspect of growing japanese maple seeds is part of what makes growing from seed an interesting and rewarding experience as you may be pleasantly surprised with the results.

You never know, you may discover the next big new cultivar that the whole japanese maple community desires! I will include detailed germination instructions with each order.
