2015 Maple of the Year

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.

Beautiful Mikawa Yatsubusa

I was looking for a dwarf variety to put in a whiskey barrel planter to live in for years to come. This tree came in looking much healthier than any other place I have ordered from before and was much larger than I expected for only being in a 1 gallon pot, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Wonderful Quality!

Tree arrived early and looked absolutely healthy and wonderful. It already has a great shape. No pruning needed. I look forward to the leaves changing colors.

Super Awesome Maple quality

Thank you Mr Maple (MMp) for Super Awesome Maple quality. I had bought 2 JPs (Japanese Maple) from Amazon, then came across MMp, saw your videos, had a super quick respond from a call back miss call, super quick response from an email inquiry, this showed me this is an Awesome company that is passionate and cares for JPs and customers. I'm hooked. I ordered 4 JPs, came in super quality & size compared to Amazon. I am ordering another 6. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

This was the first time I had ordered from Mr Maple. I ordered 2 trees and they both were beautiful, larger than I expected, and packaged superbly! Since then, I have ordered 2 more trees that are also beautiful. Hopefully they survive the winter and I will definitely order more in the spring!
