With that said, I grow Japanese maples in out in the field, in full sun. This tree is a smallish, slow-growing species, with mature heights of 430 feet, depending on the cultivar. It is necessary? Not in zones 5 or 6, but in warmer zones it would be beneficial. Japanese maple trees ( Acer palmatum) are prized for their delicate and colorful foliage throughout the growing season and autumn. Autumn is also the ideal time to prune your. After planting it lay down 3 inches of mulch and keep watering it until winters arrive. Although even if you don’t plant it on time it can still grow into a beautiful plant.

How about that fall color? From fluorescent green to a beautiful burnt orange!Ī little shade is always beneficial to a dissectum Japanese maples because it gives the foliage a little break from the sun in at least part of the day. Autumn is the best time to plant your Japanese Maple tree and ideally you should plant it a month before the ground freezes. You can easily kill them with too much fertilizer. Please do not over fertilize your Japanese maples. It is said that regular watering can prevent that, but I am always leary of telling people to water Japanese maples on a regular basis because if the soil in your yard does not drain well it’s very easy to over water them and they do not like wet feet. Like most dissectum Japanese maples the edges of the leaves turn slightly brown in late summer. They do really well here in zone 5 and will probably do equally well up to zone 8. I’ve had a number of these ‘Waterfall’ Japanese maples in my landscape for years. Right now the foliage is almost fluorescent green. I don’t feel that even these photos do this tree justice.
