Jiro Shidare Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Jiro shidare'
Acer palmatum 'Jiro shidare' is a graceful and elegant cultivar of Japanese maple with cascading branches that create a weeping effect. Its leaves are deeply cut and have a serrated edge, and emerge a bright green in the spring, gradually turning to a rich, deep red in the fall. This cultivar typically grows to a height of around 6-8 feet with a similar spread, and is well-suited to use in small gardens or as a focal point in a mixed border. 'Jiro shidare' prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, and is hardy in USDA zones 5-9. Its weeping habit and striking foliage make it a popular choice for use in ornamental landscapes, Japanese-style gardens, and as a specimen tree in a container or courtyard garden.
