Cultivar Description & Characteristics
Shaina is an exceptional dwarf upright cultivar that develops a dense, tight, egg-shaped shrub structure naturally. The spring foliage emerges in a brilliant crimson-red color that holds its rich burgundy tone deep into summer. Autumn brings a final flare of bright scarlet before the leaves drop for the winter. Its compact, slow-growing habit makes it ideal for containers, small gardens, and foundation plantings.

Growth Habit & Size
Upright · Rounded · Dwarf
Upright branching with a dense, rounded dwarf crown; it can become as wide as or wider than tall.
What do these growth habit terms mean?
More than one term can apply. Branch direction, crown shape and size describe different characteristics, and the outline can change as a tree matures.
- Upright
- Main stems and branches emphasize upward growth. An upright tree can still develop a broad canopy.
- Spreading
- Branches extend outward to form a broad canopy. The tree does not have to be wider than it is tall.
- Weeping
- Branches or branchlets arch or hang downward. The tree can still have an upright trunk.
- Rounded
- The crown has a rounded outline. This describes the overall shape rather than the direction of each branch.
- Dwarf
- A cultivar with a smaller natural stature than typical forms of its species. Dwarf describes size, not branch direction or a fixed height limit; it does not automatically mean slow growth.
For example: Bloodgood can grow upright while developing a broad, rounded canopy with spreading branches.
