Acer palmatum ‘Inaba-shidare’ (Weeping Japanese Maple) is a striking laceleaf maple. Renowned for its deeply dissected, rich burgundy-red leaves that hold their colour exceptionally well throughout the summer. In autumn, the foliage turns a brilliant crimson, adding intense seasonal drama. With its cascading, dome-like habit and elegant texture, it makes an ideal focal point in borders, rock gardens or containers. This slow-growing, compact tree typically reaches 2-3m in height and spread, thriving in partial shade and well-drained sheltered locations.
