Acer palmatum Red Panda™ is a compact dwarf selection in the Mikawa Family Collection. Red Panda™ has the tight layering habit similar to 'Mikawa yatsubusa' but with a bright orange-red spring color that holds longer than other colorful Mikawa-types. For us in WNC, we have had color in late spring to early summer. Secondary flushes on Red Panda™ during the summer has orange-red new growth. Red Panda™ may reach 3-4 ft in height and width in 10 years. Fall color on Red Panda™ is a bright fiery red.
Exactly what I was hoping for.
Finally snagged this guy and could not be more pleased. Arrived in excellent shape and I'm excited to get it planted.
My son and I went to the Spring open house and had a great time. I was surprised at the variety of trees that they had and their sizes. We got the Red Panda and a couple other varieties. All the trees are healthy and showing new growth already.
This little guy finally found its way to my doorstep after missing him by seconds past couple tries on the 10@10. Beautiful looking specimen, cannot wait to get him in the ground & watch him spread his wings. Congratulations to Tim & Matt for creating this amazing new tree to the Mikawa family, their patience searching for the right seedlings really paid off.
Amazing tree…..so glad I finally got one!
