Japanese Maple 'Spring Delight' 10 Gallon

Acer palmatum dissectum

Green lacy leaves are tipped in red in spring, and change to bright yellow and orange in fall. Great in foundation plantings, containers, as an accent in mixed borders. Japanese maples make excellent understory or part shade landscape specimen, provide year round interest, and can be planted near Black Walnut trees. They are rabbit resistant, and prefer moist, rich, slightly acidic but well-drained soil. Combine with Azaleas, Hosta, and ferns. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Little pruning needed; shapes itself nicely. Remove dead branches or trunk suckers any time. Feed early spring and mid-summer with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Benefits from winter protection.
