When we go visit nurseries, we often ask the nurserymen and women, "What is your favorite Japanese maple? 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is definitely the most popular answer. When the North American Branch of the Maple Society started the Maple of the Year Program, 'Mikawa yatsubusa' won the first award.
'Mikawa yatsubusa' is a tightly layering dwarf green Japanese maple. In the spring, the leaves are bright chartreuse green with a red sheath to the petiole. This makes this dwarf with a layering shingle-like habit extremely beautiful. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is extremely slow growing and difficult to propagate. Fall color on 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is a bright fiery red in the fall color. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' may reach 4-5 ft in 15 years. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is extremely heat tolerant and overall, a very hardy tree. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is great for container plants, small places in the garden, fairy gardens, and conifer troughs.
We have an extremely old 'Mikawa yatsubusa' at my uncle's home at Hill Stone Arboretum which serves as one of our display gardens. It is one of the largest 'Mikawa yatsubusa' that I know of.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
I have ordered trees from multiple companies across the United States. The trees are shipped timely, the office staff is responsive and courteous.(I ordered a tree that went on sale less than 24 hours after purchasing, they kindly gave me a refund for the difference- were happy to do it) Most importantly, when the trees show up, they are packaged well and thriving, the root systems on the trees I have ordered are healthy. The tree isn’t girdled and I think the team at Mr. Maple cares about what they do as much as they do the trees. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service and plan on ordering more in the dormant season next year.
Shipped together neatly with my 4 other Maple trees! Great new Maple to start my Bonsai collection of Maples. Love the spring color!
Our small Japanese maple arrived so quickly after being ordered that it was a surprise. It was well and safely packaged and in perfect condition. It now lives in its new home in a nice pot. Thanks
Shipping was super fast. I actually received the tree the next day. They had to know i was looking at trees lol. The tree looks great in it's new home. Love me some Mr. Maple!
My Mikawa Yatsabusa was shipped quickly and was well packaged. The plant was covered in a wrap to keep the moisture in and it was already starting to leaf out. We planted it and it is fully in leaf now and looks beautiful! Thank you so much!
