Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: 'Tamukeyama' thrives in South Africa's mild to moderate climates. It can tolerate both heat and cold to some extent but may require extra care during extreme weather conditions.

Sun Exposure: Plant your 'Tamukeyama' in a partially shaded area to protect the foliage from intense sunlight. This helps maintain the rich burgundy-red coloration.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. During dry periods, increase watering frequency to prevent stress on the tree.

Soil Type: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH level. If the soil in your area is heavy or clayey, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed for this variety. Remove any dead or crossing branches during late winter or early spring to enhance the tree's form.

Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser formulated for Japanese Maples in early spring and mid-summer to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
