Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: 'Inazuma' thrives in the South African climate, particularly in mild to moderate conditions. Protect it from extreme heat and frost.

Sun Exposure: Partial shade is recommended to protect the foliage and maintain its color intensity. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct afternoon sunlight.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Soil Type: Plant 'Inazuma' in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Amend heavy or clayey soil with organic matter for improved drainage.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. Remove dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring to maintain the desired shape.

Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser formulated for Japanese Maples in early spring.

Winter Protection: Mulch around the base of the tree to protect the roots during winter. Consider covering it with a frost cloth during frosty periods.

Waiting in Anticipation

I collected the four plants that I had ordered and I though I would find some leaves on them but not one. This was fine because I can now experience the joy of the fat buds bursting into leaf in the impending spring. I think the plants may have got a shock being brought from Gauteng to Cape Town where the temperatures are much lower. They are probably experiencing a mild hiccup but as it warms, I am sure that they will do well.
