Mikawa yatsubusa Japanese Maple

A dense, compact Japanese maple with stacked, shingled leaves and a fall finish in orange and red

FEATURES: 

• Distinct “shingled” leaf layering that creates a dense, textured look unique among Japanese maples
• Compact, slow-growing habit ideal for small gardens, courtyards, and container-style focal planting
• Naturally tight branching that keeps the tree looking full and structured
• Excellent for part shade where foliage stays clean and richly detailed
• Strong architectural presence even without flowers, thanks to leaf texture and form
• Fall color in orange and red for a vivid seasonal finish
• Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
• Ships on our trucks because the size of the tree - does not fit in a box.

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: 

This is a texture tree, so keep the neighbors calm. Surround it with a few solid green shapes, boxwood-style evergreens, low conifers, or simple groundcover, and the shingled leaf pattern will read clearly. Too many competing textures nearby can hide the detail that makes this tree special.
