Things you should know about growing Japanese Maple. Japanese maples are surprisingly easy to grow and maintain. They are generally winter hardy to about –20 degrees. They can be grown in pots, planter and landscaping.
At the other extreme, they can be grown into frost free zones but here they will not usually display the well known brilliant fall colors.
Most any garden soil will grow Japanese maples, but the soil must be well drained! Wet soggy soil around the roots is a killer. They grow in a wide range of soil pH preferring a slightly acidic soil.
Japanese maples grow in sun or shade. In their natural habitat Japanese maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight and at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. Bright sunlight and hot summers do not kill trees, but in hot summer areas, the newest leaves may burn and scald in these conditions.
Plants should have a consistent supply of water during the first 2 or 3 years after planting. Established trees can withstand considerable dry spells and even periods of drought, but young trees may dry up and die under the same circumstances. A lack of water during the early years of establishment is the number one killer of young trees. Few pests or diseases effect Japanese maples, and no regular spraying or controls are indicated.
Always use an organic fertilizer for Japanese Maple, chemical fertilizer may burn the leaves and kill the young tree if overdosed.
Our nursery has been studied the Japanese maple for a long times and this is just some of the few example that we carry, for more information of the available, please give us a call. |
