Description:
The Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' is a stunning deciduous tree known for its finely cut, lace-like foliage and elegant weeping form. The leaves are rich crimson to deep burgundy during spring and summer, turning fiery red in the fall. This small, ornamental tree grows to a mature height of 2-3 meters with a spread of 2.5-3.5 meters, creating a striking cascading silhouette.
Growing Requirements:
This variety thrives in partial shade to full sun, though it performs best in partial shade in warmer climates to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers moist, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperature changes.
Unique Features:
The 'Inaba Shidare' features graceful, cascading branches and uniquely dissected leaves. Its seasonal foliage color transitions make it a prized choice for gardens and landscapes.

Perfect for feature planting, this Japanese Maple is ideal for Japanese gardens, shaded garden beds, or as a specimen tree in smaller yards. It also thrives in containers, making it an excellent addition to patios or balconies.

It was a very nice surprise when my three very healthy Buxus plants were waiting for me early this morning. I love the range, quality and service of The Australian Plant shop and am most definitely a loyal customer as other providers don't even come close.
Prompt delivery and plants exactly as described. Happy customer.
i bought three plants and each one is literally perfectly luscious, green and healthy. ive already replanted them in my garden and cant wait to see them flourish.

My Fiddly Fig has finally decided to have it's last tantrum - nothing made it happy and all the research and care I put into it came to nothing. Of all my plants, it is the most demanding. I ordered the Banyan Tree and it's tall! The bark is a beautiful silver and the leaves are strong - it is such a healthy, majestic plant. Hopefully the fiddly fig ups its game now there's a contender for my affections in the house (but knowing the fiddly fig, it'll probably drop another leaf in protest). Thank you for such a healthy, beautiful plant, sorry, tree! :)
Hello I ordered some goldfish plants. I was very surprise ohow nice and grown they were. I bought the same 2 weeks ago at Power Flower and I pay ex a fly the double.
Thanks very much I will buy again
The plant I rec’d via online order was well established, healthy and rather quite stunning. More than I hoped for. Will certainly be using these guys again for those difficult to get Australian plants.
First time buyer and I was very pleased with the service and delivery. Miya was very informative and enthusiastic in letting me know how to care and manage the plant.
As it was an expensive plant I was worried they might have chosen a smaller size but that was not the case. It was big, beautiful and left a delightful impression. Love at first sight even.
I will definitely buy again!
The plants arrived promptly.Plenty of communication regarding delivery.Plants in great condition and great value for money.Very reasonable delivery fees .Overall very happy with the purchase.
I have placed two orders in one months! Couldn't be any happier.
My absolute favourite Azalea, a beautiful hardy plant. When in season, loves showing off its many pretty pink blooms.
I am so happy with my plants that I received. Miya went over and beyond to source these plants that I was after as they are quite rare to find. The communication was outstanding. I picked up my plants and was overwhelmed with how healthy and beautiful they were. Thank you so much I can highly recommend this nursery.
These plants are hard to find. The Australian Plant Shop delivered my plant in perfect condition. Looking forward to caring and watching this plant produce its best during early spring.

Very healthy looking plant and arrived very quickly upon placing order. 10/10 would order from here again :)
A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.
The plant arrived early afternoon yesterday & is indeed a beautiful specimen. Thank you so much.
I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
