Care Information:
Climate Adaptability: 'Deshojo' 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: Place your 'Deshojo' Red Japanese Maple in a partially shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight. This will help maintain the richness of its red foliage and prevent leaf scorching.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. During hot and dry periods, increase watering frequency to prevent drought stress and maintain the tree's health.
Soil Type: Plant 'Deshojo' in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. If your soil is heavy or clayey, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage and support the optimal growth of the tree.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required for this variety. Remove any dead or damaged branches during late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and maintain its graceful form.
Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser designed for Japanese Maples in early spring. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application to ensure your 'Deshojo' thrives.
