Or How To Plant A Japanese Maple



Our batch of Japanese Maples has arrived from Oregon. All of these Maples are varieties of three related species��Acer japonicum, A. palmatum, and A. shirasawanum��and have similar requirements for transplanting.



Keep in mind when deciding where to plant Japanese Maples that they are "understory" trees. In their native habitat they grow in some shade, often beneath larger plants, and usually in loamy soil with a lot of decomposing leaves. That doesn't mean that you have to live in Muir Woods to grow these things; it just means that you will need to dig some organic matter into your native soil if it tends to be more clay or sand, and that a spot with shelter from the hottest afternoon sun is preferable to one with a full day's worth. (Laceleaf Maples should probably receive no afternoon sun in hot, interior locations.)



It also is useful to remember that Japanese Maples are shallowly rooted and do not like to dry out; keep them moist throughout the year, particularly in our hotter late summer and fall months. Groundcover plants or a surface mulch of stones or bark bits, kept away from the tree's trunk, will help to conserve soil moisture. Just don't let the soil get too soggy or you'll be contending with root rot.



Growing Japanese Acer can become an obsession; there are so many leaf shapes, colors and textures. Some collectors with limited space forego planting Acer in the ground, and instead grow the plants in containers. A great little book on pot culture is for sale in the store, Growing Japanese Maples in Containers, by Nancy Fiers. At $3.00, this booklet is an amazing bargain.
