Acer palmatum 'Shigitatsu Sawa' (Japanese Maple) Spread in Feet_12 inches The fruits are showy scarletShigitatsu Sawa Japanese Maple is a dense deciduous tree with a strong central leader and a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may 'bleed' sap if pruned in late winter or early spring. It has no significant negative characteristics.
