Acer palmatum 'Japanese Princess'
Rare Pink Japanese Princess Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Japanese Princess' is an exquisite new pink dwarf variant of 'Mikawa yatsubusa' by Talon Buchholz. When this dwarf leafs out it can be from hot pink to coral depending on the year. The color fades to a green and turns to an bright red in the fall. The layering habit gives it a nice texture as can be seen in the photo below. We expect 'Japanese Princess' to get 3-4 ft in 15 years.
I picked up four trees at the Mr Maple 2025 April open house. It was worth the drive from Chicago! The Japanese Princess is mesmerizing! Tim helped me find this one and the rest of the staff was helpful as well. Right now she’s in a pot on my porch until it gets warmer. To be safe I’m bringing her into the garage at night. I can’t wait to see this one grow over the years!
The japanese princess wakes up, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Tree is in part shade, still in the pot it shipped and doing great; just like the other 100+ trees I have from mrmaple. Great people to buy quality plants from.
I hand picked this one up at the last open house and have been pleasantly surprised at the new growth it has already made in just a couple months.

Of course it’s small(normal 1g), but the plants arrived healthy and without damage; looking forward to watching it grow. I appreciate Mr. Maple’s description of size, their packaging, the variety, and their service. Great online nursery to order from. Thank you
