Shishigashira is a great variety for growing at a small size.
Created from air layering from an old tree in 2021, this tree has not been grafted and has the potential to be a really good double trunk or mother son style shohin bonsai.
It is growing well and could be airlayered again to reduce the height and provide a couple of extra trees to play with.
The cultivar 'Shishigashira'. is a variety that is extremely rare and very sought after.
The variety has dense stout deeply cut leaves that are borne on very short stems. In good years for autumn colour 'Shishigashira' has spectacular vibrant orange red colours.
As simple to cultivate as any maple but slower growing.
Lots of potential for the future.
Completely frost hardy, vigorous and tough. The delightful and delicate leaves can create the most breathtaking display of colour in autumn. Keep the tree well watered in summer and fertilize regularly throughout the growing season. Protect from strong winds when in leaf. Best autumn colour is achieved if the tree is kept in full sun but never allow to dry out completly.
