Mikawa Yatsubusa is a refined Japanese maple prized for its compact size and dense, sculptural shape. Growing slowly to just 4–6 feet tall and wide, it’s an excellent choice for patios, courtyards, and containers. The tight layering of its small leaves creates a shingled effect, adding texture and interest throughout the year. With foliage that shifts beautifully from spring to fall, this tree offers standout color and structure in limited space.

Dense form with sculptural appeal

Each branch of Mikawa Yatsubusa carries tightly packed leaves that overlap like roof shingles, creating a rounded, layered silhouette. The growth habit is naturally tidy and compact, with no need for shaping or pruning to maintain its form.

Seasonal color that evolves over time

In early spring, the leaves emerge a soft yellow-green with hints of red along the serrated edges. As summer sets in, the foliage deepens to a rich green. By fall, this small tree delivers a fiery display of gold, orange, and deep red leaves that linger on the branches before dropping cleanly.

Fits neatly into tight or formal spaces

Thanks to its small footprint and slow growth, Mikawa Yatsubusa is ideal for spaces where larger trees would overwhelm. It can be planted as a feature in a courtyard, used in Asian-style gardens, or grown in a decorative container near a seating area or entryway.

More heat tolerant than most maples

Unlike many Japanese maple varieties, Mikawa Yatsubusa handles warm weather with less stress. It thrives in part shade to full sun and grows well in moist, well-drained soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH.
