Outstanding Japanese Maple (Acer Palmatum “Shaina”) Bonsai Tree with Striking Colours

Sensational Outdoor Deciduous Japanese Maple Bonsai (Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’) – A True Seasonal Showstopper

Please note: the Maples have naturally shed their leaves for winter dormancy — fresh new growth will return in spring.

This is the exact bonsai you will receive!

Introducing a truly magnificent Japanese Maple bonsai from our Premium Range—Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’. This stunning outdoor bonsai is celebrated for its vibrant, ever-changing foliage, offering spectacular colours from spring, through to autumn. From fiery reds to rich oranges and vivid greens, the leaves provide breathtaking visual interest throughout the seasons.

Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a compact, slow-growing Japanese maple with dense, upright branching and deep red foliage that holds its colour well through the seasons. It thrives in partial shade, and is ideal for small gardens or containers. This particular specimen is perfect for styling. The trunk is well formed but branches are still supple, allowing you to create a personal masterpiece.

Why it’s great for bonsai:

• Dwarf size makes it easy to manage and shape.

• Slow growth allows for precise training over time.

• Compact branching provides structure and balance in miniature form.

• Vibrant red foliage adds striking seasonal colour and visual interest.

The open, elegant structure of the trunk is beautifully sculptural, with a characterful texture that adds depth and maturity. A fine twiggy branch structure flows naturally from the clean trunk line, enhancing its refined aesthetic.

Potted in a traditional soft cream ceramic bonsai pot, the deep tones contrast wonderfully with the vivid colours of the leaves and stems. The lighter hues seem to glow against the darker backdrop, creating a visually striking effect.

Japanese Maples are prized in bonsai for good reason: their naturally small leaves and delicate branches make them ideal for shaping and styling. Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is not only visually rewarding but also hardy and easy to care for, making it suitable for both seasoned collectors and passionate beginners.

A beautiful, meaningful addition to any garden, balcony, or outdoor space.
