Japanese Maples are actually WOODLAND plants, so do keep them in half to 90% shade . They make lovely pot patio specimens, but are also an important feature of Japanese style gardens and fernerys. Please see our Japanese Instant Border collections (in our ebay shop) and our GIANT Japanese Border collection which includes one of our specimen maples.
POSITION: Outdoors. In a sheltered position, both from strong winds (which will scorch the leaves), and burning sun. Partial shade is ideal. Protect young plants from severe frost over winter.
WATERING: Maples must be kept moist - do not let the soil dry out if you plant in a container.
SOIL: Prefer acidic - a mixture of 80% peat, and 20% bark is recommended - if you plant it in the ground, then dig in some peat or a good peat based compost.
