Acer palmatum 'Japanese Princess'

Japanese Princess Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Japanese Princess')
Love the dense, compact magic of 'Mikawa Yatsubusa'? Meet 'Japanese Princess,' its delightful descendant! Carrying that prized Mikawa genetics means it stays wonderfully petite and naturally full, packing tightly-layered elegance into a small space. Enjoy its charming spring welcome of light green leaves tipped in pinkish-red 'jewels,' leading to a lovely fall finale of golds, oranges, and reds. True dwarf perfection for containers or tiny garden spots.
* Size: Dwarf, slow-growing, 4-6 ft tall.
* Uses: Containers, rock gardens, bonsai, small accents where density matters.
* Care: Best with morning sun & afternoon shade. Needs moist, well-drained soil. Zones 5-9.
