Acer palmatum 'Mr. Miyagi'Rare Dwarf Japanese MapleZones 5-9 Acer palmatum 'Mr. Miyagi' is a unique dwarf Japanese maple selected from a seedling of the famous 'Mikawa yatsubusa'. This outstanding introduction by Joel Johnson, nursery manager at Buchholz Nursery, offers the dense, overlapping foliage that has made 'Mikawa yatsubusa' a favorite among collectors, while adding its own distinctive character. The small leaves stack tightly along the branches, creating a layered, shingled appearance with exceptional texture. Unlike its parent, 'Mr. Miyagi' develops a flatter, more spreading habit, making it an excellent choice for bonsai enthusiasts, container gardening, rock gardens, and tight landscape spaces where a compact maple is desired. Its naturally dense structure provides year-round architectural interest, while the compact foliage creates a refined look that stands out in any collection. The smaller leaf size and dwarf growth habit make 'Mr. Miyagi' particularly well-suited for showcasing intricate branching and form.
