Mikawa yatsubusa
Mikawa Yatsubusa is a hardy green leaved dwarf Japanese maple whose leaves are spaced closely together on short, stubby shoots. “Mikawa yatsubusa” in Japanese translates to “a small cluster of three rivers.” A nod to the overlapping clustered leaves, which gives this maple a very unique appearance. Mikawa Yatsubusa has very nice branching habit. Fall colors are yellow orange to red. Moderate to slow growing. Very cool – one of our favorites!
Mikawa Yatsubusa reaches 4-6 feet in 10 years. Makes a great container maple or bonsai. Needs sun with part shade. Does best in zones 5-9.

My tree arrived well packed and in good shape. It certainly didn't look like the picture you're showing in the email. Very small. This year it is the only Japanese maple I own that just doesn't look great. All the rest look good and are growing well including my larger Mikawa tree. I live in Carson City,NV at 4900 feet so our sun is very strong. We are having a very hot, windy summer this year so all of my Japanese maples are in the shade.
Hi Linda, glad to hear it arrived well packed and healthy. Our listings show the exact size/height at time of shipping, so what you received matches spec — photos are representative of the cultivar's mature look, not the shipped size. At elevation with strong sun and this summer's heat, it's common for a new transplant to lag behind established trees in your garden while it acclimates; it should even out as it settles in.
Feel free to reach out at info@mendocinomaples.com if you'd like input on care at high altitude.
I received a well packaged healthy tree with lots of new lime green growth. It is currently going through shock because it's been in heat during the day and fog at night, plus some bugs attacked the ends. Have new growth and ends and hoping it becomes happier in its new environment.
