Shin Deshojo Japanese Maple

Shin Deshojo Japanese Maple typically grows 10–15 feet tall and wide at maturity, making it well suited for small landscapes and accent planting.

This Japanese maple has a slow to moderate growth rate, usually growing about 1–2 feet per year under ideal conditions.

Plant it in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, protected from strong winds, with well-draining soil and consistent moisture.

Yes, it can be grown in large containers, making it a great option for patios, courtyards, and entryways.

Yes, it is deciduous and will drop its leaves in fall before producing fresh growth in spring.

No, minimal pruning is needed. Light pruning during dormancy helps maintain its natural shape.

In spring, new growth emerges a brilliant crimson red, which is the most intense color of the season. In summer, the foliage typically softens to red-green or bronze tones, especially in warmer climates. In fall, leaves turn vibrant shades of red before dropping for winter dormancy.

This tree prefers partial sun with protection from harsh afternoon sunlight. In cooler climates, it can tolerate more sun, but in warmer regions, afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch and preserves leaf color.

Yes, its compact size and controlled growth habit make it an excellent choice for small yards, courtyards, and landscape focal points.

It performs best in well-draining soil with consistent moisture. Slightly acidic soil is ideal, and heavy clay or poorly draining soils should be amended or avoided to prevent root issues.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
