Acer palmatum 'Lily Pad'

Rare Dwarf Japanese Maple Tree

Zones 5-9

Excellent for Bonsai

 

We are really happy to offer this exciting new variegated form of ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’. Acer palmatum ‘Lily Pad’ was a sport found on ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’ and retains that nice dense habit that makes it so popular. Tight dense foliage makes for a perfect platform for this swirling variegation. We have found ‘Lily Pad’ to be extremely stable in its variegation. ‘Lily Pad’ was found at Don Schmidt Nursery and named for its low flat shape. The overall habit is rounded, like a lily pad. We estimate ‘Lily Pad’ to reach around 3 ft in height by 4 ft in width in 10 years making this an awesome dwarf selection. When I first got this tree, I was really blown away by how elongated and swirling the foliage is. The leaf shape gives ‘Lily Pad’ a very unique, regal and elegant quality to it. It’s a mikawa with a ruffle and stable variegation! It makes my heart skip a beat! I think you will really enjoy this new dwarf Japanese maple in your garden. If you are an experienced collector who enjoys the "Mikawa Family Collection" or a novice just getting into gardening this new tree is going to be a must! Whether it’s in the ground or a pot this one is going to be a show stopper in your collection! 

This is believed to be the first time ‘Lily Pad’ is available by mail-order.

The tree was well packaged and had no damage when I received it. The tree has good shape and looks healthy. I’m excited for it to leaf out.

Perfect

Arrived intact, no broken branches due to solid packaging and the tree looks great. Had a question and it was answered the same day. I have since ordered a dwarf Chinese elm and it looks good.

Great expectations

I was startled b the brilliant red-orange leaves as I removed this little tree from its box this December. I hope to see a repeat every autumn.
