Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This dwarf red Japanese maple has a naturally globose shape. Considered to be a dwarf form Shojo no mura.

By: Conifer Kingdom

Dazzling shades of red all-season long on a delightful dwarf maple! This compact, shrubby, 5-10' maple has foliage that emerges a bright ruby-red in spring before maturing to rich burgundy for summer and in autumn deepening to dark-maroon. The color is at its best with full sun, but it performs well with afternoon shade in warmer climates. Its diminutive size makes it a fine choice for smaller gardens or containers. S-PSh/M
