As I understand it the 1 oz. Silver Panda was produced by 2 different mints and had 3 distinct versions.

Shenyang Mint produced the 'Small Twig' version with 2 sizes of the date - Large and Small. - Hence 'Small Twig'
Shanghai Mint produced the 'Large Twig' version with the Large Date.

PCGS Micro Date probably refers to the smaller date which I believe is the more valuable coin.
