Acer Palmatum 'Shishigashira' (upright)

Acer Palmatum 'Shishigashira' (Lion's Head Maple) is a distinctive Japanese maple cultivar, celebrated for its dense, curly, and tightly packed foliage that resembles a lion's mane. The small, crinkled, deep green leaves emerge in spring and summer, creating a compact and sculptural form. In autumn, the foliage transforms into striking shades of orange, red, and gold, making it a stunning focal point in any garden.

This slow-growing, deciduous tree has an upright habit, making it ideal for small gardens, pots, or as a specimen tree in Japanese-themed landscapes. Its unique texture and vibrant autumn colours add year-round interest to any setting.
