Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: The Green Acer palmatum thrives in the South African climate, particularly in mild to moderate conditions. It can tolerate both heat and cold to some extent, but protection during extreme weather is recommended.

Sun Exposure: Partial shade to full sun is ideal for optimal growth and leaf color. However, in hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorching.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, ensuring it doesn't become waterlogged. Regular watering is necessary, especially during hot and dry periods.

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

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed for this variety. Remove any dead or damaged branches during late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for Japanese Maples in early spring. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application.

Winter Protection: In regions prone to frost or freezing temperatures, provide winter protection by mulching around the base of the tree and covering it with a frost cloth during cold spells.
