Palmatum Cultivars (Japanese Maple)

This is one of the most useful maple species, due in part to its semi-dwarf habit. They deserve a prime position as a specimen in the small landscape or shrub border, as well as a choice accent plant in the larger
landscape. Fall colors are exquisite. Strongly recommend they are planted where they get winter shade and summer sun; I.E. the North side of a building, fence or treeline. In the fall enclose young trunks with tree wrap to protect from chewing rodents. Green varieties will take full sun. Red and variegated varieties do best with afternoon shade. Some sun is necessary to develop the deep red colors. Acidic, moderately rich, well-drained soil. Uniform amounts of water. Mulching is recommended to maintain moisture and to keep the roots cool. Zone 5-7.
