How Do You Care For Japanese Maple Trees?

Japanese maples are fairly low maintenance. Many varieties prefer some shade to avoid leaf scorch in summer, especially in warm climates like the southern US, but there are varieties that perform better in full sun than others. These trees prefer a slightly acidic, fertile, moist soil. Feed your Japanese maple tree in spring with a slow release fertilizer.
