Mikawa yatsubusa seedling

[Rianodell]

Thought this seedling was a good candidate for bonsai. It’s a seedling from mikawa yatsubusa with unusually small foliage for being in the Mikawa family. The tree is almost 4 years old now, it has a nice red spring cooler as well as red in the fall. I don’t have any picture of spring or fall cooler yet, as I just decided to use it for bonsai a few months ago. This will be and exciting tree to develop as I’ve only use mikawa in the garden.

That’s a pretty sweet seedling with potential, it will be fun to see it develop!

Make sure it never has wet feet. I find the Mikawa Yatsubusa varieties susceptible to root issues.

i love picture two, very nice movement, great start, also bonus points for great subtle use of a rock with moss on it

Nice elegant movement gives young tree attractive presence

Maybe a cool little literati? I have a grafted example that I worked on for a while but ended up just planting it in the landscape. In my experience, they grow so slow that developing one will take a long, long time. Maybe best to just work with what you already have as opposed to trying to thicken the trunk or grow a bunch of new branches.

You definitely are right, I have about 16 seedling from one of my mikawas, and this one is one of the slowest growing of the bunch, and it has some really unique traits. Extra light green bark, good spring and fall color, with the mature for his being very small. I may look into it as a new cultivar with the bark Interest being so different, as most the mikawas has a darker green bark. It’s still young be about for years old now, I plant to pot it up in the spring to a lager pot and evaluating it further.

Ah... but he never said it was He said "It’s a seedling from mikawa yatsubusa with unusually small foliage for being in the Mikawa family." I believe he intends to call it "Chick-Fil-A Yatsumikawa"

LOL! Do the leaves droop on Sundays?

I'm not about calling a seeding a cultivar, I just recalled how the last ID thread went

Here are some pictures of a unique Mikawa seedling I have. myself
