Common nameJapanese maple 'Ojishi'
FamilySapindaceae
TypeTREE
Botanical nameAcer palmatum Ojishi
Acer palmatum ‘Ojishi’, also known as 'Ojishi' Japanese maple, is a very distinctive dwarf selection, prized for its compact and stocky habit, combined with dense, rugged foliage with an astonishingly sculpted texture. The dark green, thick, curled leaves evoke a lion's mane, hence its nickname "lion's head maple." In autumn, they turn fiery red to orange-red, creating a vibrant focal point in restricted settings. Its structured and graphic appearance is ideal for Zen gardens, rockeries, containers, or as a specimen plant. Very slow-growing, ‘Ojishi’ develops a dense, miniature silhouette, perfect for manicured spaces where every form is highlighted. It prefers fresh, well-drained soil and partial shade, away from drying winds. It is a variety with character, compact, textured, and highly ornamental.
