Japanese Maple Notes

• Hardy to Zone 5
• Acer palmatum, Acer shirasawanum, and Acer japonicum are all considered Japanese Maples
• Japanese Maples require well drained soil with even moisture
• Japanese Maples thrive in partial shade in most areas where they are hardy. In cool summer climates like the Pacific Northwest, most can be grown in full sun
• In climates with hot summers, most Japanese Maples will require some shade to thrive
• Sizes given in descriptions are average sizes of a 10-15 year old tree, in average conditions. Our experience with growing Japanese Maples is in the cool maritime climate of the Pacific Northwest; they may grow differently in your climate.
• We ship Japanese maples from February through late April, then again in October. They are available for pickup at the nursery from February through late November.
