Acer japonicum v.70 h.160

When you are growing acer japonicum, the trees need a location with full sun or partial shade, but planting this in full sun may result in scorched leaf margins on young trees in summer, especially in hot climates. You’ll see less scorching as the tree ages. In addition, growing in a location with more exposure to bright sunlight leads to more intense fall color. The trees grow well in almost any type of soil as long as it is well-drained. Tree care is easy. In summer is mainly a matter of providing enough water to prevent stress. Water the tree deeply in the absence of rain. Apply the water to the root zone slowly so that the soil can absorb as much water as possible. Stop when the water begins to run off. Cut back on the amount of water in late summer to intensify the fall color. Any heavy pruning should be performed in late winter before the leaf buds begin to open. Cut out scraggly interior twigs and branches but leave the structural branches as they are. You can make small, corrective cuts any time of year.With such easy care and beauty, nothing is more rewarding than planting a acer in the landscape.
