Acer palmatum ‘Shishigashira’

Shishigashira (Lion's Head Maple) Instantly recognizable and unique! 'Shishigashira' has distinctive, crinkled, curled dark green leaves that are densely clustered on upright stems, resembling the mane of a lion. It's very slow-growing with a bold, sculptural form. The fall color is a stunning contrast of gold, orange, and crimson against the dark green. A true collector's item.

• Uses: Specimen tree, containers, bonsai, adding unique texture and structure.
• Care: Tolerates more sun than many maples. Moist, well-drained soil. Zones 5-9.
