About
'Shishigashira' is a dwarf Japanese maple distinguished by small, deeply crinkled leaves arranged densely along stiff, upright branches, creating a distinctive bonsai-like silhouette. Spring foliage emerges light green before darkening through summer, then transitions to dark orange in autumn. This slow-growing cultivar reaches approximately 6-8 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide over ten years, with a narrow, columnar habit that makes it well-suited to containers and small landscapes. It performs best in partial sun with afternoon shade in hot climates, though it tolerates full sun in cooler regions.
