Mystic Mikawa

$88.00

Mystic Mikawa is a member of the Mikawa Yatsubusa collection, along with Mayday, Snow Kitten and Lily Pad. Like the rest of these varieties, Mystic Mikawa features a tightly packed leaf structure and somewhat erratic branching structure, making it a unique and highly sought after maple.
Considered a dwarf variety, Mystic Mikawa stays even smaller than Mikawa Yatsubusa, topping out at 3-5 feet maximum, (10 years) the perfect container plant, bonsai, or small garden addition. 
Mystic Mikawa tolerated moderate sun, but like most maples, appreciates shade at some point in the day. 
Spring color brings apricot and coral hues- what this variety is most known for, and as pictured. These colors fade to a pleasant green in summer, followed by the full spectrum of Autumn colors- yellow, orange, and red in the fall.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! The largest one gallon Mikawa variant i have received... i cant wait to see it in full display next spring.... Also, by far the best communication I have experience from a nursery.... Not only did I receive prompt responses from them but they made sure I received the pick of the litter! I can't thank Mendocino Maples enough !!!
