To thrive all Japanese Maples need dappled overhead shade and good fertile, moist, but well drained soil. Protection from wind & scorching sun. Most growers plant glades of Japanese maples, carefully selecting complimentary colours and place them side by side. When planting maple glades it is important to leave enough open space round the trees to stand back in admiration. Japanese Maples can be viewed from all sides but when seen against the light they are magical.

Japanese Maple (Acer Palmatum) is a species native to Japan, China, eastern Mongolia and southern Russia.
