Dwarf Kurenai jishi – Acer Palmatum
Small maple (Red Lion Japanese Maple), often referred to as “the red Shishigashira”, that leaf’s out in the early spring as a deep full red with brighter colored new growth on a mid-sized twisted leaf adding a unique texture to the landscape, container, or rock garden. During the summer, the leaves may be green-red to dark green. The leaves on this maple are tightly compact and dense around a thick stem and a large trunk giving this dwarf a supremely dignified appearance.
