About this Mikawa Yatsubusa Japanese Maple Bonsai, 22 Years Old, 20 Inches Tall (Acer palmatum)
At 22 years this grafted Mikawa Yatsubusa maple has settled into a well-proportioned form, 11 by 17 inches across and 20 inches high. The cultivar is compact and heavily branched, producing a rounded, almost spherical outline that holds together with little correction. Summer foliage is green and densely packed, each leaf lapping over its neighbors, and in autumn the entire crown shifts to a brilliant red. Acer palmatum of this type is hardy and straightforward to grow, and it belongs outside all year, including a proper cold dormancy through winter.
Japanese Maple bonsai care
This is a living Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor only — it requires a genuine winter dormancy and will decline indoors
- Light
- Full morning sun with light afternoon shade in summer; protect foliage above ~85 °F (30 °C) to prevent leaf scorch
- Water
- Keep evenly and consistently moist — never let the rootball dry out, but do not leave it waterlogged. On the "wet" side of the spectrum.
- USDA zones
- 5–8 (some cultivars tolerate 9; protect roots below zone 6 in containers)
- #1 cause of death
- Verticillium wilt (often introduced by dirty tools / summer pruning); also leaf scorch and root drying
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese Maple bonsai care guide.
