#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give slow-growing Kagiri Nishiki Japanese Maple a planting site with at least four hours of sunlight a day. The delicate leaves of Japanese Maples do best with morning sun and afternoon shade or all-day filtered sun to avoid burning the leaves while still displaying the best color. Provide an organically enriched well-drained site with regular moisture access to further prevent leaf burn and stress! Plant with Nature Hills Root Booster to support the tiny feeder roots in their quest for moisture and micronutrients for the life of the tree. The beneficial effects last forever!

A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the roots to keep the soil moisture consistent and insulate the roots. Prune if needed when dormant to remove wayward branches and broken stems. Study the structure and plan your cuts ahead of time. Cut at a 45-degree angle above an outward-facing bud.

If you keep your tree in a container, please ensure the pot has good drainage, and fill it with potting mix for acidic plants. Keep the container elevated with clay pot feet or bricks and provide protection from hot afternoon sun and wind.
