Acer palmatum 'Mikawa-yatsubusa'

Common name: Japanese Maple 'Mikawa-yatsubusa'

Description

Acer palmatum 'Mikawa-yatsubusa' is a compact deciduous tree known for its dense, finely textured foliage and slow growth habit. Its small, deeply lobed leaves display a rich green colour throughout the growing season, often turning attractive shades of red or bronze in autumn. This cultivar remains relatively modest in size, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a feature plant in mixed borders.

Preferring a sheltered position with partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, 'Mikawa-yatsubusa' benefits from protection against strong winds and harsh winter conditions. It is mainly grown for its striking seasonal foliage rather than flowers, which are generally inconspicuous. This tree offers year-round interest and can add a touch of elegance to a variety of garden settings.
