Acer buergerianum ‘Miyasama yatsubusa’, a compact cultivar of the trident maple often called the “Miyasama Yatsubusa Trident Maple” (Japanese: “dwarf prince”) .
🌿 Overview
Name meaning: “Miyasama” means “prince” and “yatsubusa” means “dwarf”—hence “dwarf prince” .
Origins: Originated in Japan before 1900, though the species itself is native to China, Korea, and Japan .
Sizes: Grows very slowly to roughly 1.8 m (6 ft) tall and 0.9 m (3 ft) wide in about 10 years—ideal for small gardens, patios, containers, or bonsai.
🍁 Appearance & Growth
Leaves: Tri-lobed, thick, leathery, and glossy green in summer; emerge purple-bronze or salmon-red in spring .
Fall colour: Bright golden yellow to orange and sometimes red or purple; season lasts about two weeks longer than typical Japanese maples .
Habit: Dense, layered “shingled” form of foliage giving a compact, sculptural look.
🌿 Growing Conditions
Light: Prefers sun to part shade, with gentle dappled sunlight benefiting leaf color and health.
🎍 Why Grow It?
Perfect for small spaces, containers, courtyards, or bonsai displays.
Offers visual interest year‑round: spring coloration, glossy summer foliage, dramatic fall color.
Rare and prized among collectors, because it’s true dwarf and slow-growing.
✨ In Summary
Acer buergerianum ‘Miyasama yatsubusa’ is a charming, truly dwarf trident maple—designed for compact landscapes, bonsai enthusiasts, or container gardeners. With its layered foliage, standout seasonal colours, and petite stature, it brings elegance in a small package.
