Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or partial shade.
Acer palmatum has been reported as invasive in some areas close to our nursery.
Consider Nyssa sylvatica spp or Acer rubrum spp as alternates.
