Botanical name: Acer palmatum ‘Shin-deshojo’
Inventory ID: JM013
Type: Upright Japanese Maple
Cultivar: Shin-deshojo
Size class: Large specimen / established nursery tree
Tree pictured: Yes, the photos show the actual JM013 offered for sale.
JM013 is a large, established Shin-deshojo Japanese maple with significantly more size, trunk development, and canopy volume than a typical young nursery specimen. It has a substantial central trunk that divides into multiple mature structural branches, creating the framework for a broad, full canopy.
Shin-deshojo is especially prized for its spectacular spring color. New foliage emerges brilliant scarlet to crimson-red before gradually transitioning through reddish-green tones into green as the season progresses. Another flush of new growth can bring touches of red back into the canopy during the growing season, followed by attractive fall color.
What makes JM013 particularly appealing is its existing scale and structure. Rather than starting with a small, lightly branched tree and waiting years for it to develop presence, this specimen already has the height, branching and canopy mass to make an immediate impact in the landscape.
The lower trunk is especially worth showing in the listing. It has good diameter and divides into substantial secondary structure above the base. The close-up photograph gives buyers a much better sense of the maturity of the tree than the full-tree photographs alone.
JM013 would work especially well as a garden focal point, courtyard tree, Japanese-inspired landscape specimen, or prominent understory tree where its spring color can be appreciated up close.
This listing is for the exact tree pictured.
Large, established Shin-deshojo specimen

Particularly suited to Japanese-inspired gardens and refined landscapes
Actual tree pictured, inventory JM013
JM013 is a strong choice for someone who wants a Japanese maple with immediate landscape presence rather than a small tree that will require years to fill out.
Because of its larger size and developed canopy, I would position this one toward the premium end of your Shin-deshojo inventory. It's the kind of tree where your delivery and installation service becomes part of the value proposition, not just an add-on.
Light: Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered light is ideal in Central Texas. Protect from intense late-afternoon summer sun.
Water: Keep evenly moist but not waterlogged, particularly during establishment and periods of extreme Texas heat.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil with good organic content. Avoid locations that remain saturated after irrigation or heavy rain.
Mature habit: Upright, branching Japanese maple developing a rounded to broadly spreading canopy with age.
Hardiness: Generally USDA Zones 5–9, with careful siting particularly important in the hotter portions of its range.
