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.
