Its crinkled leaf (Crispum type) and dense branching create a very graphic silhouette, even out of season. It is one of the easiest maples to \u201cread\u201d visually: compact, sculptural, and immediately recognisable in a collection.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1275\">Colours<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1473\">\n<li data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1336\">\n<p data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1336\"><strong>Spring<\/strong> : soft green (fresh, crinkled growth).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1370\">\n<p data-start=\"1339\" data-end=\"1370\"><strong>Summer<\/strong> : dense dark green.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1473\">\n<p data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1473\"><strong>Autumn<\/strong> : orange to orange-red (often with several shades visible at the same time).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1493\">Habit &amp; vigour<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1706\">Bushy habit, rather upright at first, with often stiff branches.

It is also encountered as \u2018Shishi-gashira\u2019.\nIn catalogues, this cultivar is placed in the group of crinkled-leaved palmatums (Crispum). Some sources also mention historical or horticultural distribution synonyms (e.g., \u2018Crispifolium\u2019, \u2018Ribesifolium\u2019, \u2018Minus\u2019): these names appear depending on references and supply chains.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Shishigashira\u2019 (often called \u201cLion\u2019s Head\u201d) is a Japanese maple with a very recognisable charm: small, thick leaves that are tight and crinkled, gathered in clusters, giving an almost natural bonsai look. The foliage goes from soft green in spring to dark green in summer, then offers an often long-lasting orange to orange-red autumn colour.
