Common Name: Lion's Head Japanese Maple
PALMATUM, green. Syn. 'Cristatum' or 'Ribesifolium'. A most unusual, slow growing form with small, curly, leaves are densely set close to the stems. The foliage is held longer into the fall; when other maples are showing fall color, 'Shishigashira' remains as green as summer. One day, after all others have faded, it bursts into colors of gold, orange and red. Fall coloration and intensity are influenced by the tree's location. Popular for bonsai use.
