Care
Give Japanese Maple part sun / part shade and moderate water. Plan for a typical mature size of about 6–25 ft tall and 6–20 ft wide. Plant at the correct depth in a site that fits the tree's mature size. Water deeply during establishment, mulch without piling against the trunk, and avoid unnecessary pruning.
