How to grow Laceleaf japanese maple

Dappled Sun

Ensure your soil is acidic and loamy with lots of organic matter.

When positioning in the garden, ensure that there is plenty of space between the maple and other plants as they have shallow root systems, and avoid planting in windy or exposed positions.

Mulch every couple of years to ensure a steady feed of nutrients.

Keep the soil / compost evenly moist and feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser.
If growing in containers, repot every couple of years – the autumn is often the best time of the year for this task.
