Mikawa Yatsubusa Japanese Maple

This truly unique dwarf Japanese maple is an excellent choice for small landscapes. It produces layers of small leaves that overlap each other because of close leaf spacing and short petioles. The effect is striking: a rather dense yet sculptural plant with a diverse assortment of leaf size and color. New growth seems to include the whole color spectrum between yellow and green, with older growth turning dark green. In fall, a different color palette takes over, spanning the range between yellow and scarlet. For optimal Mikawa Yatsubusa care, plant this Japanese Maple in a location with morning sun and partial shade throughout the day. It thrives in acidic or neutral soil.
