Shishigashira Japanese Maple

Growing to a height of about 8 to 12 feet, the Shishigashira Japanese Maple features a compact, upright growth habit. Its leaves are tightly clustered, giving a lion's mane or "shishigashira" appearance, which means "lion's head" in Japanese. The leaves are green in spring and summer, with the foliage becoming a breathtaking mix of vibrant orange and red in the fall. This maple thrives in partial shade and adapts well to various soil types. Its distinct tufted foliage and remarkable autumn color make it a sought-after choice for adding texture, interest, and vivid hues to gardens, landscapes, and ornamental settings.
