Maple arrived sliced and packed well. Waiting for the weather to warm
Up a bit be before planting very happy with the purchase!
I've been eyeing a neighbor's maple weeping lace maple tree and after some research I figured it was this or Garnet. Can't wait to see it grow.
It came mostly green. But, in the past week it has gotten the most amazing crimson. This baby is healthy and happy. Very pleased with my purchase.
I’ve grown Inaba Shidare for about 25 years in my zone 5b Indiana garden. It hasn’t missed a beat, has kept its red color all through the growing season, and has not suffered damage through late spring freezes and frosts, summer droughts (yes, I did water if the drought went on too long), etc. It’s been a great maple.
I have had my Inaba Shidare for years now. It was one of my first Japanese Maples and still one of my favorites. The leaves are very beautiful and interesting enough on their own. The mounding habit and medium size is perfect for just about any spot.
