Watering Japanese mapleTenere asciutto
We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water. Water rarely, about once every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down.

Generalities Japanese maple
These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Japanese maple is medium in size and 2 m in height; in the spring it assumes a redpink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Japanese maple has a shrub- like development.

Exposure Japanese mapleSole pieno
The Japanese maple should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight. With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind.The Japanese maple should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero.

Treatments Japanese maple
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.
