Plant Description

The Acer palmatum “Kiyohime”, also known as the Little Princess Japanese Maple, is a dwarf deciduous tree cherished for its compact, spreading growth habit and delicate seasonal foliage. The small, finely lobed leaves emerge with red edges in spring, maturing to a bright green in summer, and turn golden-yellow with hints of red in autumn. Its low, dense shape makes the “Kiyohime” ideal for container planting, bonsai, or as an accent in small gardens. This elegant tree brings year-round charm with its unique form and vibrant colors.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers moist, well-drained soil, slightly acidic to neutral, rich in organic matter.

• Watering frequency: Water consistently to maintain even soil moisture; avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

• Light exposure: Thrives in partial shade but tolerates full sun in cooler climates; protect from intense afternoon sun in hot regions.

• Temperature requirements: Hardy in temperate climates, tolerating -10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F). Protect from frost and extreme heat.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring to support vibrant foliage and healthy growth.

• Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and remove deadwood. Avoid heavy pruning to preserve its natural form.

• Common pests: Susceptible to aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Treat with neem oil or organic pest control as needed.

• Other tips: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, but keep mulch away from the trunk to prevent rot.
