Description
Acer palmatum Inaba-shidare forms a broad, cascading shrub whose arching branches carry finely dissected, deep purple leaves. The color holds through summer before shifting to vivid crimson and orange-red in autumn, giving small gardens and courtyards a strong seasonal focal point.
Small purple-red flowers appear in spring, while smooth brown-gray bark supports the airy framework through winter. Its modest scale suits containers, borders, rock gardens, and waterside settings.
Japanese maple seeds and seedlings contain HGA and MCPG, may pose a hazard to horses, and should not be consumed by them.
