The tightly layering leaf structure makes this tree especially sought after in the nursery trade. During the spring you can expect an elegant lime green flush of leaves to emerge, settling to a sometimes dark-green foliage by summer. Fall colors can range anywhere from a scarlet red, orange, to a yellow green (depending on several environmental factors). Older specimens of Mikawa can be quite the sight to see, a showstopper for sure!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can send pictures of the specimen we have for sale upon request!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrowth Habit: dwarf \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e10-year growth rate: 4-5 ft\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSun Requirements: full sun to part shade (depending on geographical location*)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardiness zone: 5a-9b \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Conifers Nursery \u0026 Landscape","offers":[{"title":"1G","offer_id":52393664381219,"sku":"","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Gallon","offer_id":52393674965283,"sku":"","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":54319194112291,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/4831\/7987\/files\/AA86E7AA-D8F8-4CFF-B866-2E912A500A37.jpg?v=1776217870"},{"product_id":"acer-palmatum-butterfly","title":"Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButterfly Japanese Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Delightfully airy and bright, 'Butterfly' features unique, deeply divided green leaves, each edged with a variable margin of creamy white, sometimes with pink flushes on new growth.
