Red Mikawa RARE Japanese Maple, Mikawa Family Collection GRAFTED - Live Plant

Add a truly unique Japanese maple to your collection with Acer palmatum 'Red Mikawa', an exciting Mikawa Yatsubusa variant selected for its exceptionally vibrant red spring growth. Combining the highly sought-after dwarf growth habit, dense branching, and distinctive layered foliage of Mikawa Yatsubusa with brilliant red emerging leaves, this unusual selection offers a striking alternative to the traditional green-growing form. Its intense spring color and naturally compact appearance make it a fascinating addition for Japanese maple enthusiasts and collectors of rare cultivars.

You'll want to add this one to your collection!

Please note: This is NOT the 'Red Panda' cultivar. Red Mikawa is currently offered under this descriptive name and is not being represented as a formally named cultivar. Its particularly vivid red spring growth is its defining feature; foliage color may change as the season progresses and vary with growing conditions. We believe that this Red Mikawa outperforms 'Red Panda' in its red spring coloration.
