Acer palmatum Kiyohime yatsubusa
This is the same as Kiyo hime according to most sources . . That being so this is a must have for any JM collector . It is the mother load for all Bonsai folks. Is a vigorous grower forming tiny branchettes but does not get big or grow fast and has no central leader so you have a small bush over time. Tiny leaves of great character adorn this very special tree. Translates to: Princess Cluster of Eight
