Why Plant Shindeshojo Japanese Maple?
Shindeshojo is chosen for spring color that truly commands attention. New growth emerges in brilliant scarlet red, creating a strong early-season focal point when the garden is just waking up. As the season progresses, the foliage typically settles into greener tones, giving the landscape a calmer, classic canopy through summer. Then fall brings another shift, finishing with orange and red tones that extend the color season well beyond spring.
This is a great Japanese maple for anyone who wants a clear seasonal rhythm: bold spring, refined summer, and warm fall color, all in a compact ornamental tree that fits beautifully into smaller landscapes.
How to use Shindeshojo Japanese Maple in the landscape?
Plant it near an entry, patio, or main window view so the scarlet spring growth can be enjoyed up close and used as a seasonal highlight. It performs best in part shade, especially in warmer climates where afternoon shade helps protect tender new foliage and maintain clean leaf edges. Pair it with deep green evergreens to amplify the spring red, and keep surrounding plants simple so the canopy remains the main feature. Use a mulch ring, gravel, or low groundcover at the base to maintain a refined look and keep the focus on the branching and seasonal color changes.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
