Shishigashira or Lions Head Maple is an outdoor deciduous maple that has tight foliage, which is particularly attractive, and the small leaves make it very suitable for bonsai. Shaping is normally done by pruning alone.
Leaf colour can be impressive with oranges turning to reds in the Autumn.
Ensure the soil doesn’t dry out completely and to avoid leaf scorch place it in a spot with dappled shade.
