Acer palmatum 'Shigitatsu sawa' Reticulated Japanese Maple

‘Shigitatsu sawa’ is a classic upright Japanese maple prized for its reticulated variegation and long-standing popularity among maple collectors. This old and highly respected variety showcases some of the most striking contrast found in reticulated maples.

In spring, the foliage emerges cream-white with vivid green veining. The leaves transition to soft green in summer, maintaining their distinctive reticulated pattern before finishing the season with a bright golden yellow fall color that lights up the landscape.

One of the standout features of ‘Shigitatsu sawa’ is its creamy green interior paired with bright green veins, giving the leaves an almost glowing quality. 

This variety performs best with protection from hot afternoon sun, helping preserve its delicate foliage and vibrant color. At maturity, ‘Shigitatsu sawa’ typically reaches 6–8 feet tall in 10 years, making it an excellent choice for collectors, focal plantings, and refined garden designs.

Shigitatsu sawa

3 gall Shigitatsu saw arrived in great condition, leaves still on and larger than I expected. Can't wait to see that beautiful green color next spring. Had minor glitch in delivery which Maple Ridge promptly solved. Very happy with customer service.
