Palmatum Shishigashira Maple

This bonsai maple has small leaves with short petioles growing very tightly along the branches. Its very compact habit is ideal for bonsai cultivation. In spring, the foliage is a tender green before taking on a deeper hue during the summer. In the fall, you can enjoy more shimmering colors ranging from yellow to red to various shades of orange. 'Shishigashira' is a dwarf variety with a slow growth. As it naturally makes small internodes and small leaves, it is very suitable for small bonsai but not only.
