Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba-shidare' (Pot Size 30L) Japanese Maple sold by Boma Garden Centre

Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Inaba-shidare’ is a distinguished Japanese maple renowned for its graceful, weeping form and exceptional foliage. The deep purple leaves are finely divided into delicate, feathery lobes, creating an open, airy silhouette that transforms the landscape. In autumn, the foliage shifts to brilliant crimson, offering striking seasonal colour. This cultivar has earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding ornamental value and garden performance. Plant in moist, well-drained soil with an acid to neutral pH in a sheltered location with dappled shade to full sun. The fine foliage is susceptible to wind scorch, so protection from strong winds is essential. Water regularly during the growing season and dry spells, particularly in the establishment phase. Mulching helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool. As a standard form, this tree has a clear stem trained to approximately 50 cm and will require staking until fully established. The mature specimen makes an exceptional focal point in smaller gardens, containers, and courtyard plantings. Hardy throughout the UK.
