Shishigashira Japanese Maple Tree
Shishigashira means ''lion''s head'' or ''lion''s mane''. The bunched up leaves on short shoots give rise to the image of this mythical lion from Japanese drama.
It is a compact grower making it a good choice for smaller gardens, containers and bonsai. Slow growing, but can reach up to 15 feet tall on maturity. Plants are 10-15" tall.
Has deep green foliage and keeps its color well - even in sun. Fall colors are gold with rose and crimson tones. Shishigashira provides an outstanding effect in the garden! It has been known in Japan for over 120 years.
