Care Information:

Climate Adaptability: 'Yugure' thrives in the South African climate, particularly in mild to moderate conditions. Protect it from extreme temperatures and strong winds.

Sun Exposure: Partial shade is ideal for 'Yugure' to prevent leaf scorching and maintain its vibrant colours. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight.

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

Soil Type: Plant 'Yugure' in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Amend heavy or clayey soil with organic matter to improve drainage.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. 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.
