When we go visit nurseries, we often ask the nurserymen and women, "What is your favorite Japanese maple? 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is definitely the most popular answer. When the North American Branch of the Maple Society started the Maple of the Year Program, 'Mikawa yatsubusa' won the first award.
'Mikawa yatsubusa' is a tightly layering dwarf green Japanese maple. In the spring, the leaves are bright chartreuse green with a red sheath to the petiole. This makes this dwarf with a layering shingle-like habit extremely beautiful. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is extremely slow growing and difficult to propagate. Fall color on 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is a bright fiery red in the fall color. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' may reach 4-5 ft in 15 years. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is extremely heat tolerant and overall, a very hardy tree. 'Mikawa yatsubusa' is great for container plants, small places in the garden, fairy gardens, and conifer troughs.
We have an extremely old 'Mikawa yatsubusa' at my uncle's home at Hill Stone Arboretum which serves as one of our display gardens. It is one of the largest 'Mikawa yatsubusa' that I know of.

The plant arrived looking healthy and not dried out. It is now with me for about 3 weeks and it is starting to leaf out. Yey!
Fast shipping and came well packaged without any broken branches! Thanks r. Maple!
Both trees came in looking better than expected. The packaging was extremely well done. I am pleased all around with my order.
I purchased a dormant potted plant over the winter. It appears to be in good condition and as advertised in size and branding. I’ll see how if leaves out in the Spring.
After reading the info and several customer reviews about this maple, we decided to try one out. We ordered the 1 gallon large size. It arrived in less than a week. Very pleased with the size and shape at this point and are anxious to see it leaf out soon this spring. We live in central Ohio and are going to start this out in a nice pot which we can watch closely and move as needed depending on what portion of the yard or patio in does best in.
This is our second purchase from Mr. Maple and are well pleased with how they pack and ship their trees/plants and very happy with each individual speciman that they have sent us as well.
