\u2018Shirazz\u2019 is a cultivar of contrast and texture: the pink variegation, very visible at budbreak, is enhanced by leaves that are frequently distorted \/ crinkled, sometimes \u201csickle-shaped\u201d, which amplifies the material-like effect. It is a high-end variety, ideal for creating a very graphic focal point\u2014especially when placed near a path or a terrace.<\/p>\n
Spring<\/strong> : purple-red \/ bright red with a pink margin (sometimes fuchsia pink in gentle full sun).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Summer<\/strong> : green to bronze-green foliage, often with pink edges (sometimes cream\/pink depending on light and new flushes).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Autumn<\/strong> : orange-red to scarlet red.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Initially upright, then the branches may arch with age, creating a very elegant silhouette. Slow to moderate growth.<\/p>\n Observed orders of magnitude depending on sources and training:<\/p>\n about 1.5 m at around 10 years is a commonly quoted figure,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n often listed at around 2\u20133 m at maturity in many catalogues,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n some references indicate that with time and good conditions, it can become larger (higher figures possible depending on age and training).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Bright partial shade is recommended, or gentle (morning) sun in a temperate climate. A sheltered position (dry winds, scorching sun) is important to preserve the finesse of the pink margins and to limit foliage drying.<\/p>\n \u2018Shirazz\u2019 is a selection of New Zealand origin: it was discovered \/ introduced by Duncan & Davies Nursery (New Zealand), then distributed internationally.<\/p>\n Regarding naming, several sources indicate that the plant first circulated under the cultivar name \u2018Gwen\u2019s Rose Delight\u2019, and that Shirazz later became the commercial name (brand \/ trade name) used to sell the same cultivar. \u2018Shirazz\u2019 is a variegated Japanese maple with a very \u201ccouture\u201d look: in spring, the foliage emerges purple to red, clearly edged in bright pink; in summer, it shifts towards green\/bronze tones with pink margins (sometimes cream\/pink depending on exposure), then finishes in autumn with orange-red to scarlet-red shades. The leaves, often crinkled and irregular, add a unique texture. Superb in a pot and in a sheltered spot in the garden.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Shirazz \u2013 Acer palmatum | \u00c9rable du Japon panach\u00e9 rose, feuilles gaufr\u00e9es, orange-rouge en automne","_seopress_titles_desc":"\u2018Shirazz\u2019 : \u00e9rable du Japon panach\u00e9 rose tr\u00e8s spectaculaire.

Finally, it is often presented as a sport related to the cultivar \u2018Geisha\u2019 (hence its aesthetic proximity to the variegated \u201cGeisha\u201d types), while keeping its own personality: frequently crinkled\/irregular foliage and very expressive pink variegation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
