Description

An impressive and unusually large growing red laceleaf Japanese Maple, Inabe Shidare is a fine specimen that can grow upwards of 12 feet tall and wide over time. Inaba Shidare is noted for its more upright form with cascading branches covered in lacy leaves that emerge a magnificent deep purplish red in spring, maturing to a soft purple to red in summer, and finally to a stunning bright red in fall. The 7-lobed, 6′ long leaves are deeply cut and dissected providing a beautiful soft texture in the landscape. Up close, you’ll see attractive, small reddish flowers in spring. A truly wonderful specimen make sure to leave this one ample room to grow! 
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, Japanese Maples are often used to accentuate entryways by planting one on both sides of an entrance, or spaced widely in small clusters of three. Inaba Shidare is an ideal selection for landscape beds or in a large container. 
Suggested Spacing:  18 feet or more apart for space between plants
Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions. 
Note:  One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow. Container culture can extend their useful range. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai.
In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Inaba Shidare is one. 
Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
