Description

This Acer palmatum ‘Kiyohime’ Japanese Maple is a 20-year-old specimen with a thick, mature trunk (~2 inches) and a naturally compact growth habit that makes this cultivar so desirable for bonsai. The tree stands approximately 14 inches tall with a canopy spread around 14 inches, offering a balanced structure with plenty of future design potential. This is a grafted tree with a low graft, giving the next owner flexibility: • Air-layer above the graft for own-root development • Or continue growing it out and allow the graft to blend over time Currently planted in an 11x11 cedar grow box, this setup is intentionally designed to promote nebari development and radial root spread, while the inorganic soil mix (akadama, pumice, lava rock) ensures excellent drainage and root health. Kiyohime maples are known for their tight internodes, small leaves, and compact growth, making them ideal for bonsai. It is increasingly rare to find one that is already this compact with a trunk of this thickness, especially with multiple future design options. ⸻ Tree Details • Species: Acer palmatum ‘Kiyohime’ • Age: ~20 years • Trunk: ~2 inches thick • Height: ~14 inches • Canopy Spread: ~14 inches • Graft: Low graft • Pot: 11x11 cedar grow box • Soil: Akadama, pumice, lava rock • Condition: Healthy, vigorous, and actively growing ⸻ Why This Tree A versatile piece with multiple paths forward—develop it into a refined bonsai or grow it out further as a mother plant for future propagation.
