Acer palmatum 'Shaina'

Common Name:
Japanese Maple 'Shaina'

Description:
Acer palmatum 'Shaina' is a compact, slow-growing Japanese Maple with a striking upright, rounded form. This dwarf variety features deeply lobed, rich red foliage that emerges bright crimson in spring, deepens to burgundy in summer, and transforms into fiery scarlet tones in autumn. Its dense, bushy habit makes it perfect for small gardens, courtyards, and container planting. 'Shaina' thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers a sheltered position in full sun to part shade. It is frost-hardy and relatively low-maintenance, though protection from harsh winds and extreme heat will enhance its performance.
