Acer Palmatum ‘Shaina’

Incredible, eye-catching red foliage all summer turning beautiful crimson-red in fall.

Unusual dwarf, bushy, tufted habit and spectacular foliage! Originally discovered as a witch’s broom mutation on the popular Japanese Maple ‘Bloodgood’, the leaves of ‘Shaina’ are the same dark red all summer, but are clumped in masses for a lovely tufted look. When fall arrives the showy foliage simply intensifies, turning brilliant shades of crimson-red.Especially choice shrubs or small trees, Japanese Maples are magnificent in form and foliage, delicately textured in spring and summer, and, in many cases, unequaled in fall color. Very tolerant of heat and humidity, they add year-round interest to the garden. Their beauty increases with age making them a lifetime investment in the landscape.

Wayside Gardens offer this choice Japanese Maple, a proven performer in American gardens. Expect it to grow 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide within 6 to 8 years. Plant in sun to part shade and well-drained, but evenly moist soil.

Zones 5-8.
