Shaina Japanese Maple

This selection originated as a witch's broom mutation on a Bloodgood maple, it inherited the parent's deep red colour and fall display but produces extraordinarily tight, short-lobed foliage and grows at roughly a third the rate, creating a compact specimen of exceptional density.

• Leaves have a shortened centre lobe giving a distinctively dense, compact leaf cluster close to the stems
• Very tight, dark red leaves deepen to purple by midsummer while retaining excellent colour
• Crimson to orange fall colour on a plant that stays under 1.5 m
• Excellent for bonsai or as a miniature specimen in courtyard gardens
