Acer Palmatum 'Shaina' (Japanese Maple Shaina)

Acer Palmatum 'Shaina' (Japanese Maple Shaina) is a mid-sized deciduous Japanese Maple known for its vibrant foliage and upright, slightly columnar growth habit. A sport of the popular Acer Palmatum 'Bloodgood', this variety showcases deeply divided leaves that emerge bright red in spring, mature to a rich dark ruby red in summer, and transition to a striking crimson in autumn. Its compact form and excellent color make it a standout feature in any landscape.

Ideal for garden borders, ornamental focal points, or container planting, Acer Palmatum 'Shaina' reaches a mature height of 2.5-4 meters over 20 years. It thrives best in a sheltered position with partial shade to full sun, in neutral to acidic, well-drained soil. This variety is a low-maintenance choice that adds year-round visual appeal to gardens of any size.
