About this Mikawa Yatsubusa Japanese Maple Bonsai, Trained, 26 Years Old, 12 by 17 Inches (Acer palmatum)
Seen from any side, this 26-year-old trained Mikawa Yatsubusa presents a full, evenly filled crown, the product of a grafted cultivar that branches freely and sets its leaves at very short intervals. The tree spans 12 by 17 inches and rises 24 inches. Green through the growing months, the canopy shifts to burning red in autumn, an annual display that has long made this form a favoured subject for bonsai work. Hardy and forgiving in cultivation, it wants an outdoor spot rather than a room indoors.
Japanese Maple bonsai care
This is a living Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

- Outdoor only, all year
- Light
- A sunny, airy place; dappled shade in hot weather; indirect light once temperatures reach 85°F (29°C)
- Water
- Evenly moist: water daily in the growing season; it must not dry out completely
- USDA zones
- 5 to 8; not every cultivar is fully hardy in zone 5
- Main risks
- Main risks, not ranked by any source: verticillium wilt, which cannot be treated and spreads on tools; drying out, which damages fine roots
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese Maple bonsai care guide.
