Acer palmatum Shaina

Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a compact, slow-growing Japanese Maple with a dense, upright habit and striking foliage. Its deeply lobed, bright red leaves emerge in spring, darkening to a rich burgundy in summer before turning brilliant crimson in autumn. Growing to around 2–3 meters tall and 1.5–2 meters wide, it is ideal for small gardens, courtyards, pots, or as a feature plant in mixed landscapes.

In Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, ‘Shaina’ thrives in partial shade to full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. It prefers protection from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun, particularly in warmer climates. Regular watering during dry periods and mulching around the base helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Minimal pruning is required, though light shaping can enhance its natural form. Low-maintenance and highly ornamental, ‘Shaina’ adds vibrant seasonal color to any garden.
