Acer pal. ‘Shin deshojo’
(Revised 8 Feb 2011)
The most outstanding feature of this maple is its brilliant red foliage in spring; perhaps the brightest red in out garden. It is more than 18 years old. Its size was controlled by pruning until a few years ago. It is now about 2 m high, and is in about 20% shade.
