Acer palmatum atropurpureum 'Shojo', Shojo Japanese Maple, is a distinguished and vibrant addition to any landscape. This captivating maple offers a dynamic visual display throughout the seasons, making it a favorite among garden enthusiasts. Its remarkable purple-red foliage heralds the arrival of spring, transitioning to a sophisticated burgundy during summer, and culminating in a breathtaking crimson spectacle each fall. Shojo Japanese Maple presents a unique elegance, standing apart with its more formal and refined demeanor compared to the popular 'Bloodgood' variety. Known for its upright, narrow habit, this maple gradually develops a graceful, somewhat spreading form with age. Reaching heights of 12-15 ft and spreading 10-15 ft, it transforms into a picturesque, small rounded tree, perfect for creating focal points in diverse garden settings. Ideal for USDA Zone 5, this cultivator not only enriches your garden aesthetic but also showcases a robust, fast-growing nature that promises years of seasonal beauty. While true-to-type cannot be guaranteed when grown from seed, Shojo Japanese Maple is a must-have for any garden seeking a stunning accent piece.
