It is good to know how to care for your Acer maple tree so it can thrive in your garden. Here are some of the most important maintenance tips:
Acer maple trees are hardy and can survive temperatures well below freezing. In colder climates, we recommend using winter protection during very severe frosts. A layer of mulch around the base of the tree can help stabilize the temperature and offer protection to the roots.
There are many different species of Acer palmatum trees to fulfil your garden wishes with. Whether you have a small garden and prefer a small dwarf maple that does not reach taller than 2 metres, or a tall, impressive eye-catcher, there’s always one that suits your wishes. Acer palmatum trees offer a wide range of colours, such as purple, pink, red, yellow and green. During fall, they will surprise you with an amazing show of colours. Dark-coloured leaves can withstand bright sun best. Aside from the colours, each species also has its own shape of leaves, which means that Acer maple trees can offer a large variation in colours and shapes. Whether you will put them in a pot or plant them in open ground, they all will be a great addition to any exterior.
If you have become inspired by Acer palmatum and would like to produce some yourself, you can do so by cutting them. This may require some patience, as Japanese maple trees tend to grow slowly and new cuttings may not develop very quickly. The best moment for cutting is in spring. That way, cuttings can benefit from a whole growth season before you report them in fall. Put the cuttings, once they have developed roots, in a mixture of sand and soil and provide water and indirect sunlight. After that, you need to wait for it to develop leaves on the mini tree.
