Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' Weeper (Weeping Japanese Maple)

Title: 100L
Sale price$1,400.00

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' – Weeping Japanese Maple is a compact, deciduous ornamental tree with cascading branches and finely dissected foliage. Deep green leaves emerge in spring and shift to vibrant shades of red and orange in autumn, creating strong seasonal impact in smaller spaces.

They look excellent in courtyards, entry gardens, or as a focal point in structured beds where their weeping form and dramatic colour change can be fully appreciated. Slow to moderate in growth, this variety forms a low, dome-shaped canopy ideal for accent planting and layered garden designs.

Performs best in sheltered positions with filtered light and consistent soil moisture. A refined choice for adding movement, structure, and colour to compact landscapes.
