Part of the Mikawa Family Collection, ‘Red Panda™’ has the tight, layered growth habit reminiscent of ‘Mikawa yatsubusa’, but stands out with its brilliant orange-red spring foliage that holds its color well into late spring and early summer. Throughout summer, new growth continues to emerge in vibrant shades of orange-red, adding repeated bursts of seasonal color. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a brilliant fiery red. Its compact size makes ‘Red Panda™’ an excellent choice for smaller landscapes, Japanese gardens, containers, and collector gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Compact, dwarf, and tightly layered with a graceful branching structure\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 3–4 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Slow to moderate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Layered, finely textured foliage emerging brilliant orange-red in spring and producing additional orange-red new growth throughout summer\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Brilliant fiery red\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rare dwarf selection of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcer palmatum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in the Mikawa Family Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Morning sun to partial shade; afternoon shade is recommended in hotter climates to help protect the vibrant foliage\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Zones 5–9\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Japanese gardens, rock gardens, containers, small landscapes, specimen plantings, collector gardens, and woodland gardens\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Feature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Exceptional orange-red spring color combined with a compact, layered Mikawa-type growth habit\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGarden Interest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Provides multiple seasons of color, from brilliant orange-red spring foliage and colorful summer flushes to fiery red fall color\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A rare and distinctive dwarf Japanese maple that combines the highly desirable layered form of the Mikawa family with unusually long-lasting orange-red foliage, making it an outstanding choice for collectors and smaller landscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Pot #1","offer_id":48812016926914,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9791\/3282\/files\/redpanda.jpg?v=1789485086","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/acer-palmatum-red-panda-japanese-maple","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
