Description	Japanese maples make a beautiful addition to any landscape design. Even though they require a little more attention, if you plant them in their ideal environment, they are rather easy to care for ,you just need a little patience because they develop slowly.Choose a planting location that provides afternoon shade but receives morning sun. If you have a young maple, you can shade it with an umbrella or something similar to keep it cool during a heat wave.Japanese maple trees grow best in moist, well-drained soil. Loamy and sandy soil will work well, but avoid soil with a high alkalinity level; japanese maples thrive in soil with a slight acidity. Keep the soil moist but not wet. They despise soggy standing water. For a longer soak in the summer, lay the hose around the base in different areas about twice a week. Do this especially if there are going to be some extremely hot days ahead.Because japanese maples have shallow roots, it’s important to mulch them well. You can also plant in the grass, which helps to protect the roots and retain moisture.Because green-leaf japanese maples often perform better in hot, dry areas than red-leaf types, which are more prone to leaf scorch. The trees can often endure a little bit of humidity. Avoid places with high winds when growing your japanese maple.Although japanese maples prefer well-draining soil, they also like to receive regular waterings. Japanese maple can be propagated through seeds and softwood cuttings. The different cultivars are also grafted onto rootstock.For a better appearance, prune out the lower branches and remove any branches that have crossed. Otherwise, simply prune away any branches that are dead, diseased, or damaged.
